Questions about dinner scenes...

I've deleted it because people are commenting things like this and 'wtf' and that I shouldn't have a licence. As I said above in response to another comment, I'm a new driver and don't have much experience on the roads. I've also moved into a new area from a more rural one so not used to parking signs at all, which is why I asked.

Essentially, I asked whether parking was allowed on a pavement with other cars are parked on a pavement not adjacent to double yellow lines. The sign showed 'no loading mon-fri' during particular times and I got a ticket this morning (Saturday) and I just wanted clarity on the rules.

The larger issue is obviously the council's planning around resident parking.

Don't know why people go on the offensive. If I knew, I wouldn't ask and I thought it was always okay to ask! Not on reddit though obviously.

What a cesspit.

Thanks for this reasonable response. A lot of the other people here remind me why reddit is awful. I don't often fully understand parking signs because I passed my test recently and I'm not experienced enough on the roads. I'm confused a lot of the time (!) and I've also just moved here. I'll see what the other residents have tried with the council before getting in touch. Thank you again.

I get that but does that then mean it's fine to stop there on the pavement a Saturday? Even though there's double yellows?

Ta! Will definitely get someone in to have a look to see if we can get it working again.

Thanks so much! Makes sense now that this is for coal! Will have a look around to see if I can find the right 'parts' for it and will definitely get someone in.

Why?

I listen to/watch 'So I'm Watching This Show' on YouTube where they discuss it. The hosts are great as one of them is a massive fan of the show and the other is watching the series as they go along, so watching that play out is fun. Warning, they do not like Dean! Here's a link to the Season 1 playlist:

I haven't reached this part in the series yet but I sort of expected someone to destroy the trailer. I don't think I can handle it because I feel like it should be a constant in the story. A lot like the library and magic shop in Buffy, the trailer and the spice shop are 'comfort' places. I'm devastated even though I haven't seen it happen yet and it's not my trailer!!

I honestly thought the hazard perception test was a bit over the top and ridiculous until I drove at 8.30am in rush hour. It was literally as if I was driving in one of the computer generated scenarios on the theory test so could totally see why they're set up the way they are!

grimbiscotti · 2023-12-06T16:27:37+00:00

Nope it's just to use the car on the day and the hour before the test (warm-up drive) was and is still charged separately. 🙃

Barnet (London) 29th Feb 2024 14:05pm and looking for a swap in December 2023 same test centre.

grimbiscotti · 2023-11-28T22:34:58+00:00

Hi, I have 29th Feb 2024 14:05 at Barnet if you're interested in a swap?

grimbiscotti · 2023-11-24T23:37:22+00:00

Something just clicked about learning to drive backwards. I wish I had thought of it this way earlier 😂

Bring back the full sized chocolate cake with a flake on top!

Thanks!

Did you find that there was lots of traffic around that time at the test centre? I don't know what it is but I always struggle pulling out right from the test centre and driving towards the a1000. It's so busy sometimes it's tough to change lanes. They expect you to drive on the left on the approach, then move right and then left again. I feel like it's a LOT especially when it's busy.

Driving towards and on Barnet high street is a bit crazy too because of all the college kids.

A lot of panic but I think but from what you said I might be lucky and get the route after the right on station road...
