Random Irritations

All those moaning about parking charges, just be grateful you aren’t paying £7.70 AN HOUR which is what I was paying with the previous DIESEL VW van in town. Now thankfully it’s only £5.10 an hour as it’s electric.
That gave me an average monthly parking bill of between £750 and £900 a month.
 
You wait till you need to go to a hospital.
I think 1 hour car parking pays for a new ambulance 🤣

Ok panic over, just looked online
Council car parks all day, £2.20-3.80
Local train station all day, £1
Hospital, free

Phew!

I'm sure there will be private car parks charging more but given the above prices its not gonna be too mad
 
I would probably be moaning more about the price of rail travel than the parking.

I am due to start a new job next month and thought I would be in the office for the first couple of months whilst I get up to speed and the price of a season ticket for a 25 minute each way journey was shocking (and I couldn't use my railcard). Luckily I will only do the first day to get IT and stuff then only do a day or so each month.
What railcard have you got?
 
Daughter who is in the Police firearms was telling me a story. When the bad people were using Lorrys as weapons in mowing folk down at markets etc, the police realised they never carried anything strong enough to go through an engine block. So off she and a few workmates went to west yorks to try out a few bigger guns. She tried one. Now she is probably 8 stone wet through and Fit as a butchers dog. She pulled the trigger and she swears her shoulder is still on the range. She said the recoil was brutal.
So roll back a few years to 2017. Tash and three other guys went to watch City v Monaco in Monaco. Mbappe, Bernado Silva, Mendy, and a few others tore City apart new ring piece. The following day we went into Nice before catching the plane home. Us four were sat in a beachfront restaurant having a lovely breakfast. One of the guys was halfway through his breakfast and suddenly got up. He went to the front door and looked left and right. He then went to the guy behind the bar and was rabbiting away in French. They both went back to the front door and the guy was pointing here here and here. He put a tissue to his eye and walked off. So we asked the guy what was that all about. He said “ I was sat here eating and I recognised something outside so I went and had a look”. He had recognised something from the Nice terrorist attack the year before. He asked the bartender about it and the bartender showed him that people died here, here, and here and loads sought refugee in the restraunt we were in. ☹️ The guy walked off after he got emotional talking about it. Some ISIS guy decided to wipe out 86 people that day using a lorry as a weapon.
Those big guns. Hope they’re never needed. ☹️
I remember the attack.. France had a bad couple of years and there was a lot of head scratching going on at the time on the best ways to stop them.
 
You can use that to buy daily tickets just not a season ticket. Plus if you're only doing Mon-Fri a season might be not what you need
I will now only be doing 1 day a month so no need for a season ticket ticket. Might not be able to use the card though as the early start means a minimum spend and may not meet this for certain tickets. Always something to moan about :ROFLMAO:
