Where was this, DM?

I'll take some pics on Monday if you can't. Contest it with photo evidence.

Here. I was parked on the street exactly where the silver Astra-like vehicle is parked in the photo. I reversed into the mouth of Frankham Street and turned left. The only blue arrow visible is on the bollard and I did keep right of it.

Oh, and thanks for the offer but I have to go just round the corner from there in a little while anyway. I'll take a camera with me.

I've just been sent a penalty charge notice. £65 for failing to drive in the direction of an arrow on a blue sign. I've just looked on Google and there is no one way street marking from anywhere visible to me. I did, however, reverse about a yard into a no entry street (but not far enough to see the blue sign, which presumably was on the other side of the no entry sign). So, there was an offence but not the offence I've been charged for. I'm going to have to contest this one. I wonder whether they can change the penalty notice and do me for reversing into a no entry street.

The car would have been pointing/facing in the correct direction though.

It was indeed. I did reverse a yard into a one way street, admittedly. But I didn't fail to obey a blue sign so I'm not guilty of that particular charge. Life is so much simpler on a bike.....

Today, 6th July, is National Fried Chicken Day.

The fear of chickens is called Alektorophobia.

Does anyone know how to remove tomato soup stains from a light coloured carpet?

We seem to be clutching at straws at the moment but have run out of suck !

Club soda, and a sponge.

pour some white onion soup onto it and rub it in.

this presupposes it's the same principle of red wine stains which also doesn't work.
