    From what I've read on the OP, the spaces aren't on the road but on the home for assisted living's land. This changes things somewhat.

    Its quite hard to explain but when you turn into the cul de sac on the right is a row of terraces and opposite (on the left) is parking spaces which you could drive into (think new style housing) there is then a wall behind which is the assisted living building itself.

    I have found out the delay- it was due to the building although completed was not signed off. Now that the management company has taken over the building this is why the signs have appeared.

    I have my own drive/ yard to park in but I felt putting signs up when cars were in them quite cheeky. Its their land so I guess they can do what they want!

    I bet you don’t pay for a seat on a train and give it up.


    Remember the April Fools jape that one of the rail companies would offer cheaper "standing only" tickets? Then commuters who never manage to get a seat could save a fortune by not paying for the seat they never get.

    Pity it was just a "joke" :(
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    I did mean reserving a seat rather than paying for a ticket.

    How long since you bought a train ticket?

    Generally most reserved seats are for Apex tickets bought well in advance. If you buy the most expensive open tickets there are no reservations.

    A while, I don't generally pay.
