Car park full?
Can't be bothered to drive a short distance to an alternative car park with spaces?
Don't worry!!
Just park on (and, in this wet weather) destroy the grass verge!! It must be what it's there for!

There is a little known rule in the Highway Code that states if you own a Merc you can park where the heck you like.

So here's this North Yorkshire Police speed camera van parked outside our house on a road which has a 30 limit, widely ignored. Of course traffic is creeping past it. If the police had any intention of catching speeding motorists it would be disguised as a bread van.

If, when I was a kid scribbling my little stories into a foolscap, you'd told me that one day my book would be right next to Oscar Wilde in a niche chart on an online shop, I'd have asked how you got into my house.

A wonderful find - a very dangerous bookshop to browse. Eclectic, slightly bonkers and peaceful. Everything a good bookshop should be.
