No! you are not being obtuse. I should have made it clearer thus:- The law only applies to those that are able to apply it. If they decide not to apply the law, then who else can?

But that still does not stop those with the legal right to issue a FPN if they find the permit (if they have one) is not for parking on the pavement. Scaffolders I understand have to attach an official notice to their scaffolding if it is ...

@Margaret Swift , I am sad that you have had bad experiences with our local health services. In the past, in another part of the country, my family has too, so I sympathise.

That would mean I have been lucky several times so far with the Barton Surgery, and I do not believe that my comments regarding Torbay Hospital were down to luck. I ...

Sorry but you’re wrong. I was merely trying to provoke a sensible answer to what I thought was a sensible question. I’m happy to be corrected and for the intended context to be explained to me, but that’s up to you of course.

Doesn't news papers always exagerate one way or another? How did they come up with HISTORIC beach kiosk?

The biggest lie I have heard from Theresa May in her conference speech. Our national debt is the lowest it has ever been BUT:- The UK national debt has risen by £555 billion since 2010 under ...
