    I went to see the last one at the cinema with my adult son. We were worried we'd be the only adults without small children, but when we got there, it was mainly adults in the audience :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Teesside Park shopping centre is another one. You get to a roundabout, then all the cars are directed left or right depending on which car park you want to go in. The cars go along directly in front of the shops with millions of zebra crossings between the car park and the shops. Consequently it all backs up onto the access roads as the cars are constantly stopping to let people use the crossings.

    You have to leave on the central car park road, but that ends up all backed up as a large number of the cars turning into the right car park seem unable to understand the yellow box markings on the roundabout.

    Coming to a car park near you...

    Plans to introduce emissions-based parking charges in Reading have been approved.
    Under the new scheme, motorists driving the most polluting vehicles will pay higher fees for parking permits and at on-street meters.
    Reading Borough Council said poor air quality was the UK's biggest environmental threat to public health and believed its scheme would help reduce this risk for residents.
    The authority estimates that about half of drivers will pay more because of the change, which it is aiming to implement in February.

    Daft question, but how does that help?
    It’s a bit like in Kendal, all shops were banned from having A boards in the streets as it was dangerous for blind people and people with poor eyesight, you could get round it by paying £25 for the new license to have a A boards in front of your shop or on the street <doh>

    It doesn't really but it's more money for the council :emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash: to waste on something else :bandit:
