A few words

Back to the scene of the non-crime. Guess what, Latif's carpark was full:

so I parked in the carpark my car was towed away from on Monday. I don't think Midway Parks have been operating it as a carpark for long. Against a fence I found this old sign that the police/council had put there when it was closed to the public:

I think the message is still valid! I went to ask Latif's to have a word with their neighbour about the way the carpark is being operated, but I was told that even though Latif's is in contact with A & S and/or People's Choice, Latif's wouldn't speak to them about this issue. I'm sorry, but until Latif's takes this problem seriously I couldn't recommend anyone to shop there.

Next I went along to Midland Street, where I found Marcin and his rather shy colleague waiting for their next job:

The shy guy greeted me with a merry cry of "What are ya taking photos for, ya stupid f**king tw*t." Why would anyone who's doing such upright, moral work not want to be identified?

Here's another police/council sign on a lamppost near Latif's:

Okay, if you park on someone's private property, most of the time the landowner has got to have the right to remove your car. BUT if they run that property as a carpark, I don't think they should have that right until a reasonable period of time has elapsed -- say seven days. And there should be strict limits on what can be charged for unpaid parking, for removing clamps, for towing away and for storage in carpounds.
