What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]

Thats the best one I've heard yet !!!! A cracker !!

So, Johannes - stop cross posting. whiney gimp.

Shock horror - the police/parking attendants being understanding? You're not allowed to say that round here!

It's the parent's faults for giving in. I feel very strongly about that. No must mean no then there's no argument.

Star Wars stuff is aimed at the 30 something's in the main. I was talking last night to a woman on the checkouts at a local supermarket who was complaining about her husband missing work to go to the local premier of the new film (where Darth cross code man was apparently in attendance asking £20 a signature).

I apologise, I've confused you with someone who's been complaining about children's behaviour in supermarkets.

I should think there's a lot in that. Also the fairly often reported correlation between processed food and hyper-activity in children.

No, I don't have television and don't buy newspapers or general interest magazines but I do read specialist magazines, one being published by The Food Commission - I'm passionate about well produced good food. We buy our meat from a daughter who has an organic farm with rare breed animals and poultry, our game from the local licensed supplier, our vegetables and flour from local organic producers (and grow quite a lot of veg ourselves and eat unusual veg which you can't buy); things we can't buy from local producers we buy fromWaitrose or Booths, about once every six weeks.

Well, to be truthful the housing association cancelled the ticket as they had their own attendants, I think, and received any payments directly, so a quick call and confirming who I was and ticket number cleared things up nice & easy (for once).

Cheers, Stephen

In my experience most misunderstandings with officialdom is easily cleared. I had my tongue in my cheek of course.

It's when you get people in authority in non-official positions that things can get sticky, you end up wading through trreacle trying to get through a non existent door! It doesn't always happen but can be very frustrating when people don't listen to what you're saying :-(

You really shouldn't do that

Nor should you put the sticker on the windscreen with silicone adhesive as it will leave a smear which is next to impossible to remove over the life of the windscreen. Whatever you do, don't stick polyurethane foam up the exhaust, it's a very very bad thing to do.

Could you not get in contact with one of those over enthusiastic clamping companies and let them do it properly

It then takes you out of the equation

Only you said that.

For the rest of us it was clear enough even without Google.

Brer Rabbit! It's years since I saw anything from you :-)

FFS it's only a car.

I worked a few months in France and found the locals would park with their cars touching each other, and would then just shunt them forwards and backwards to create a space to get in/out.

C'est normal en Paris. :(

Because he can't.

Yes.

He doesn't. He's on the waiting list for having both done, so they won't give him a badge, as it's "temporary". Apparently. Still, he's only on the board of the local hospital trust...

With no disrespect, how's that affect your ability to get from one end of the supermarket car park to the other?

Which day is "I just want to buy a pint of friggin' milk and some potatoes because I've run out" day?

What, not even E901 and E948 (mind, E948 is bad for you in large quantities)?

I was thinking along those lines myself

Would stopping off at the supermarket be a high priority on that day?

I'm not screaming. Not having uncontrollable kids, I don't need to.
