What does the man love? His flat? The fire? Firemen?

Loves alone, is that a euphamism for something else????

Quick off the mark Crystal Ball. Have you been waiting by your laptop all night?

Just to be clear, 'waiting' isn't a typo. Or a euphemism (note spelling).

isnt it time badly parked cars were dealt with by Police before someone loses their life just so some driver can park immediately outside their house?

This is not the first time, can the highways people not get involved here with appropriate parking controls. they cant ignore their responsibilitoes and blame inconsiderate parking as the problems are known here by the council and next time it could be more serious.

Police only have very limited remit to deal with this. The council privatised the parking regulations, sold it for a profit, and now we have this situation. I suggest the issue lies in council hands. The fault however sits with the driver.......

Sometime in the late 1960s residents with cars living in Rochester, Bute, and Hendon Street were asked to park their cars on Odd Numbered house sides on Odd Numbered days of the week - and on Even numbered sides on even days. This meant that ALL cars were parked on the SAME side of the street - and the emergency services always had access. It was something advised by the police - it made sense - and everyone complied with it. Now of course it's different.
