I'm not surprised if you call him that.You get a ticket, if the parking gnome is on a walkabout. But we don't see him very often.

It's a council run scheme. Just stops those who want to avoid paying to work in town or them that go on their holidays for 2 weeks. There int enough spaces for the residents as it is.Is it done by the council or a private 'enterprise'?
Always curious on this sort of thing if the amount of patrols is based on the likelihood of getting a fine out it, rather than making sure the residents are looked after. It's like car parks, if pay on exit you don't even issue fines but you make more money having pay on entry then employing people to watch for expired tickets. In the days of ANPR there is even less need to pre pay as the same tech that catches people out could be used to assign their charges on leaving via the same machines, but everyone is always out to find more ways to take.It's a council run scheme.

I'm sure on the original plans for the new road, we had spaces outside the houses here, if we didn't, then we should have. Bloomin waste of space that bit of grass and hedge. Just somewhere for drunks use as a toilet and litter bugs to drop their crap.
Living on the Doxey rd, we don't see much of what happens on the estate. @gilbert grape on the other hand - not giving owt away, we've said we're neighbours before - they might see him more, because they're further into Castletown than we are.Always curious on this sort of thing if the amount of patrols is based on the likelihood of getting a fine out it, rather than making sure the residents are looked after.

Being in the house more than out of it, I rarely see anybody of their ilk, any more. There used to be certain times of day when they scoured, but I'm intermittently out these days, whereas if I ever used my flexi time and got to work late, I'd get done if I was on yellows over night.Living on the Doxey rd, we don't see much of what happens on the estate. @gilbert grape on the other hand - not giving owt away, we've said we're neighbours before - they might see him more, because they're further into Castletown than we are.
If a tree falls in a forest......If you report a car without a permit is anything done?
So it's not really a residents parking permit, more a tax for anyone that owns a car that may or may not give them a chance to park locally.If a tree falls in a forest......
Only if they see it.
Do you have it insured? House contents? What a horrible thing to happen.Had a bit of a dampers put on tonight's anniversary celebration. Went to put my necklace on again tonight and it's gone out of the box.
(Know I had it here back in hotel room last night , as hubby had to unhook the hard catch for me).
Got no safe , so hid it best I could, but ....
Told reception who are going to ask housekeeping if they have 'found' one, but not holding out much hope.
Lesson learnt , carry everything around with me In future ! The car keys are coming out with me in my handbag tonight!
( A Torquay hotel once had loads of guests cars nicked, when thieves found hidden car keys in suitcases etc . Our dog saved our room that time as we'd left her in the room and she must have scared them off )
Oh wel
Never thought about house policy, although apart from photos of me wearing it last night I can't really prove I had it & its been nicked.Do you have it insured? House contents? What a horrible thing to happen.
It might be covered, worth checking.Never thought about house policy, although apart from photos of me wearing it last night I can't really prove I had it & its been nicked.
Bit of a wash out of an anniversary. Hubby feeling ill tonight , back in hotel bar sitting in different parts. He wants to sit where gale force wind is coming in the door, so he can sit there. I'm across the room where its warmer on my own with my cider.and a couple of doggies to fuss
