He appears to be holding a piece of paper up for you. Is he awarding you points? I hope you got a good score. I wonder if this idea, spread further, would be a Good Thing for Bristol's cyclists, to negotiate a junction and find that they'd scored a 10 or whatever.
ReplyDeleteSome piece of colour paper saying they are allowed to park there. I have a video of the conversation but it is too dull. Apparently they had planned to park further up the hill, but were surprised (!) to discover that the car behind them hadn't moved in four hours. This means they don't get out enough. Residents don't move cars during working day mornings as there won't be a space afterwards; commuters don't move cars as they are at work. Again, a bit of data collection would prove this.
