There is a little known rule in the Highway Code that states if you own a Merc you can park where the heck you like.

So here's this North Yorkshire Police speed camera van parked outside our house on a road which has a 30 limit, widely ignored. Of course traffic is creeping past it. If the police had any intention of catching speeding motorists it would be disguised as a bread van.

Borrowing an idea from @nkdgardener.bsky.social this is also worth half an hour of anyone's time. This programme was so much part of my growing up.

A wonderful find - a very dangerous bookshop to browse. Eclectic, slightly bonkers and peaceful. Everything a good bookshop should be.

Had a great journey earlier this week to the lovely city of Hereford on one of the ex LNER trainsets operated by TfW and on the journey I discovered that the Welsh for "flush" is Fflysh and now my life is complete.
