I find that driving to the NEC is easy, but I always get lost and take the wrong road when we leave in the dark. The signage to the M42 north is dreadful.

Has anyone asked how much a ticket would cost for a bike? And is it for all the parking spots or just the prime area ones?

Hunstanton have done it right, there's a bike park on the sea front, in a prime spot, and on a sunday you can choose to pay a quid for the privilege of a parking spot there. There's maybe room for one hundred bikes or so and it gets very busy in the summer months. There are other parking spaces that aren't far away and that are free too, which I use more often than not....could it not be modelled like this in Matlock Bath?

Why don't spouse's keep the kitchen cupboards logically set out.
Should women be allowed to cook without supervision.....
