Locals have no more right to park outside their house than anyone else! Point taken. But we live 200 metres from a station, with only on-street parking. It's a pain. I don't mind parking 'only somewhere near' (and in fact that's the norm as there aren't enough spaces anyway) but I would like to park within a few hundred metres of where I live. Less of an issue for me now; I simply avoid going out (mostly) until the commuters have arrived, and/or stick the car nearby after they've gone home. The station halved the size of the car park, too, which doesn't help. Buy a house with a driveway/garage. |

Democracy in action etc. ;-) i) You erroneously assume that everyone that didn't vote would have been on the remain side. No I don't because I didn't state what you may think I'm stating. We were going along with the status quo and were given a vote (that should have been a poll) that basically asked, 'hands up who wants to leave the EU'. The ONLY people who matter in that case are *those actioning change* and ONLY 1/3rd of the electorate actively did that. From that point on, both those who didn't vote at all or actively voted to remain didn't 'actively want to leave' or actively voted to remain, afa the poll count was concerned. Remember, the question was *actually* polled to determine just how many people wanted to leave the UK, to change the status quo, it's just they couldn't just ask those who wanted to leave to vote as they would all be heckled (understandably, the traitors that they are g) on the way to the polling station. What I'm not *stating* is how that those who didn't vote, might have voted, had they voted, just that they didn't vote to change the status quo. snip Cheers, T i m |

I'd say that depends on if your paying for local services, for parking. where I live IIRC you pay about £80 a year to be able to park in your local area. Or you can get scratch cards which allow a car that insn't registared to park in your local area, I used one a few weeks ago. A 5 hour ticket and a 1 hour ticket. |

Where we are the road is wide enough for two HGV's to pass each other, even with vehicles parked either side. Locally there are multiple instances of roads that are only (just) wide enough for two cars but some do have (often shared) drives leading to garages. I suspect very few keep their cars in the garages any more because the garages are two small for the cars of today, so many will have given up their front garden to vehicle parking, trying to keep the drive clear.

I was refering to milk and I'm beting the cost of insuring and running a car is far more than the markup on a litre of milk every 2 days. I only require semi-skimmed milk even though they have others including soy, and nut variities. For the larger shop I go on my way home from work using a bus. |

Fear every other daym never dear today. 20 years later they will still be waiting for the negative effects of Brexit to fully manifest. We are already seeing some of them and we haven't even left yet. Inward investment to the UK rose steadily, year on year, until the referendum. Since then, it has been in decline, having fallen by 14% in the past 12 months alone. In January 2016, the 12 month total for jobs created by inward investment was nearly 12,000. It has now fallen to under 4,000. OTOH, British firms have increased their investment in other EU countries by 12%, to counter problems that would arise from Brexit. The value of the pound suffered a lot as a result of the referendum. It recovered somewhat afterwards, particularly when Brexit was delayed. Boris's committent to a no deal Brexit sent it downwards again. Parliament voting against a no deal Brexit has seen it rally again. -- Colin Bignell |

Rod Speed wrote whisky-dave wrote Rod Speed wrote whisky-dave wrote I do wonder why some have cars if they don;t drive to work and the car spends most of the time outside their own home. Because if you live in the congestion zone and work there too, it makes more sense to only use the car for the shopping etc instead of trying to lug the grocerys around on public transport. I can do that Yep, you actually are that stupid... yes I can walk to the end of a road and enter a shop buy something and return without the aid of a car. And pay much more for the stuff you stupidly buy that way instead of a fortnightly shop at a decent supermarket etc and waste a lot more time that way too doing that most days. and do it most days of the week, Yep, you actually are that stupid... Yep I don't need to buy petrol/deisel to walk a few hundred metres. But are stupid enough to pay more and waste much more time doing that most days. I don't need a car to buy a bottle of milk. Most arent actually stupid enough to go shopping most days of the week... Perhaps they are stupid in having to drive most days of the week. Most arent that stupid and only do that weekly or fortnightly etc. If you live in the same zone like a congestion zone perhaps you don't need a car. You dont need a house either, or cats. The flats being built near me have NO parking on or off street aka no parking in the immediate area is possible, Then the fools that allowed that to happen should be strung up... becoming standard practuce in some areas. https://forums.digitalspy.com/discus...parking-spaces Then the fools that allowed that to happen should be strung up... You lot never could organise a ****up in a brewery as brexit proves in spades. they are sold and peopole are told there is NO parking. See above. |

That's ok, however, many houses have several cars now and unless you are living out in the sticks on your ill gotten gains you may not have a drive big enough for that many cars either. 'Most people in England are living in houses on streets that were never really / properly designed for cars, let alone that many / house. Where we are the road is wide enough for two HGV's to pass each other, even with vehicles parked either side. Locally there are multiple instances of roads that are only (just) wide enough for two cars but some do have (often shared) drives leading to garages. I suspect very few keep their cars in the garages any more because the garages are two small for the cars of today, so many will have given up their front garden to vehicle parking, trying to keep the drive clear. The problem with your solution is that it's anti-social as you are taking up more land than many others (but your selfishness comes as little surprise to most here). ;-) There's room for about ten cars on my driveway. I have downsized. At my previous house there was/is room for at least a thousand. |
