No such thing as bad publicity?

 

Well, maybe not.

Yikes! Can't see this business lasting much longer.

Isn't parking like that illegal anyway?

 

As for the article:

Wetwang, East Yorkshire

 

Got to visit there and grab a photo of that town sign!

[jinnantonnixx]

I think the bad parking is the least of the story.

 

It could all have been defused easily with an 'oops silly me' but it all got out of hand when the inner idiot came to the fore.

[featured_spectre]

Despite the fact that she parked awfully, she in no way deserves the hate calls she has been getting.

Its more the fact she threatened to lie to the police about getting assaulted in order to get her own way and in the process ruin someones life and waste police time.

[sippo]

She was in the wrong at the end of the day. She parked in the middle of a main road, just because she wanted to drop something off.

 

Unfortunately this is society today - very selfish!

It needs a waypoint at Cockfosters.

Lickey End is quite close to Bell End.

[tech_guy]

Or you could go via Haseley Knob, which is only a slight detour?

[sonofsanta]

Norfolk is full of these; this is my favourite. Especially when you drive south through it and see this road, which should be innocent, but, well... your mind is in the gutter by that point.

Me and the Fiance are starting to look at moving, and buying a house together.....

 

I wanted the house that's for sale here....

 

3 bedroom detached house for sale in Titty Ho, Raunds, Wellingborough, NN9

 

Unfortunately, my fiance thinks it's too far away for kids school and work in Wellingborough......

[synaesthesia]

Well, there's a Bell End in Wollaston too which is slightly closer than Raunds

 

(note - any houses likely to ever go up for sale on Bell End will easily cost upwards of a million!)

Years ago, in my biking days, Back Street Heroes magazine used to run a competition each year called 'The Landmarks Tour' where you had to visit a certain number of sites out of a given list, in return for sendign them your snaps of you and your bike in each location you would receive a very nice metal badge. Each year would have a differnt theme, and one year (about 96 IIRC) it was silly named places. I went to...

 

Tiksover

Idle Working Mens Club (Leeds)

Vulcan Village

Pidley

 

...and several others that the years have removed from my brain. I still have the badges on my denim cut-off which I'll probably pass onto my kids

I'll have to take a picture of the badges to show you as they were things of beauty.

In South Australia, the real men come from Iron Knob.

I had a strange desire to "spend a penny" when I visted the River Piddle in Dorset.

My brother had a number of those ... and his mate was proud to have done a road trip in the states, going 1600 miles out of the way just to get a picture of him at 2 different places, Bald Knob and Spread Eagle.

I'm sure I read somewhere that up to a week before opening Clacket Lane Services were called Titsey Services - can't imagine why they changed it... *
