On Saturday, down in Hampshire I actually saw some Police involvement in pavement parking. Unfortunately their involvement was entirely to help somebody park their car on the pavement.

On the road again

Having spent a week seeing, and trying to avoid getting run over by, all those mopeds, scooters and motorcycles in Istanbul I was getting a bit of an itch to get on my own bike for a bit of a spin and today I had a good excuse. I needed to pay some cash into […]
Hospital parking

The question about hospital car parking charges has been in the news again in the last couple of days, following some FOI requests from the media. What grabbed my attention was the unsurprising statistic tht the hospital where I seem to be spending half my time (Royal Surrey in Guildford) has the most expensive parking. […]

Yes. I was a little excited by that headline too but the story in the Argus turned out to have nothing to do with the singer from The Police and everything to do with the Sussex Police and Brighton & Hove council instead.

This a follow-up to last week’s piece about parking. On one of my little lunchtime walks I took a short cut through a council estate off Bayliss Rd in Lambeth. I had been past dozens of times, but had never actually been in it. As you can imagine, parking spaces are a valuable commodity in […]

Today I came across this brilliant site. It is a blog about bad/inconsiderate parking in the garage at somebody’s workplace. Some fine examples of appalling parking in an attempt to name & shame. Can we have the same thing for County Mall please? Or any of the car parks in Crawley. With particular emphasis on […]

According to the Crawley Observer there was a proposal by Crawley Town FC to use part of their car park as a lorry park, apart from on match days. A number of Broadfield residents objected and the proposal was turned down by the borough council for planning reasons. Even if planning permission had been granted […]

There used to be a saying about people who would not pay for shareware (back in ancient times when the honour system was in place, before shareware had expiry times on it) it went something like “If you can afford a computer you can afford to pay for software”. True it was a saying most […]
Crawley Mela
July 30th, 2006 · Comments Off on Crawley Mela · Life, Music
This weekend was the Crawley Mela at the Hawth theatre. I think the crawley Mela is a bit unusual. Traditionally a Mela is an Asian festival, and tends to feature mostly culture from the Indian sub-continent. Our one tends to spread its net a bit wider. The organisers made a point of saying that the […]
