So did I Terbert, but really it isn't so mad, I think!! :D :D

You can just imagine some prat on a motorbike or very small vehicle (Smartcar?) using the space if the yellow lines were not there ::) ::) ::)    It would have been better though to put yellow hatching down across the whole space! :D :D :D :D :D ;)

To be honest, I am with you to a degree, Lizzie. But why do these councils set themselves up as laughing stock ;D ;D
