Sounds like they should have read the ticket before putting it in the car.

Yes, I agree, you have to read the sign. If they are so keen on visiting Devon, they would know that five hours in Dartmouth gives you plenty of time for a boat ride and a leisurely lunch. The "one hour free" is probably very useful to the local people just going to the bank and the chemist etc.

That wasn't a nice morning for a bike ride, 52 miles in intermittent showers and it was blowing a hoolie as well.

When the cats don't want to go out, I generally tend to take their advice. Like today.

The laundry is also hanging up inside. I have no desire to chase my smalls across the fen.

Tasha, in case you are wondering, did not make it to the vet surgery. She refused point blank to come into the house this morning. She may not be eating very much, but she has the ability to move like the proverbial greased lightning. So I 'phoned the vet to explain, and they were very understanding. She is now booked in for tooth removal on Tuesday morning, with the added benefit of an overnight stay on Monday evening.

Oh dear, Tasha...

I usually read the ticket after I get it out the machine, I got caught out many years ago whilst on holiday and copped a fine.

We once holidayed in a caravan in Devon. It rained for the whole week and was like staying in a drum. Hateful place

Very nice with dessert.

Did the canteen run out of chips?

 

[potsy]

Funnily enough I have just ordered a takeaway treat

Will you be eating it off a plank of wood? I'm told that's the chic thing to do up north.

No, straight from the polystyrene box like all good people should

 

[potsy]

You might need to explain the concept of 'chic' to @potsy....

I thought he'd spelt chick incorrectly.

Have they made you the boss?

All the bosses are on holiday, I was acting way above my usual level of comfort
