I'm just putting all their letters up on the notice board.</p> <p>This is actually useful to know since a lot of motorway service stations are doing the same thing with 2 hr limits. The next time I have to drive down to England I'll not worrying about stopping for a few hours zzzzzzzzz. I can just ignore the bill when it arrives. That info would have saved us having to sleep in a free Morrisons car park in Bracknell last June. It's handy for Legoland. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5132#post-54922 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:32:05 +0000 gembo 54922@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Never pay bills from supermarkets for using their car parks. Not enforceable. Never even when they offer a reduction. Hold out for zero. Even if it was you, which in this instance it wasn't. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5132#post-54904 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:20:23 +0000 wee folding bike 54904@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think it's related to holes but the Airdrie Westminster seat has not changed hands since the 1940s. The Holyrood seat did last year. Councillors seem to be getting squeaky bums over this and decided not to charge for parking in town.</p> <p>Parking Eye have tried to bill me for parking at Aldi in Airdrie. They're onto plums since I wasn't there. They assume the registered keeper was driving it. They want me to pay a penalty charge for a service which I did not require, request or receive. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5132#post-54876 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:21:57 +0000 gembo 54876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>because of the potholes the seat became less safe? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5132#post-54862 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:38:59 +0000 wee folding bike 54862@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The upcoming election might be part of my wheel damage campaign. Airdrie used to be the one of the safest of seats but this has changed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5132#post-54858 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:58:15 +0000 gembo 54858@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>how astonishingly fortunate to discover this money - you would think there were elections coming up in May or somesuch </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5132#post-54837 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:24:35 +0000 wee folding bike 54837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll be claiming a couple of wheels off North Lanarkshire. I was out this morning photographing the offending hole which left me with two flat wheels. It's more than 7 cm deep and has a sharp edge from a stank. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5132#post-54810 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:11:52 +0000 Claggy Cog 54810@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Were the roads really worse in 2005/6.
