BBC news, ad free radio and annoying Rupert Murdoch. Can you put a value on that? I think they use Bitesize in school. I see the BBC logo on the TV when I go to pick them up some days.

How serendipitous that the bed in the warm sunshine needed weeding the most😉 Funny how that always happens in the spring but on a hot summer's day , it's the shady beds that need work.
We went to Statford-upon-Avon this morning and parked in the same car park we have always used. Previous cost for 4 or 5 hours was under a fiver. Today I got hit for £11.95 for about 10 minutes over 3 hours!! I didn't realise it had been changed to a short stay -ouch.
Since I was looking into fake fur for costumes this week I'm now getting recommendations for other fur stuff. On Etsy I was just offered various products from an Indonesian seller that stocks tons of animal derived items like fur, bone and shells with no mention of where they come from or the ethics. They've got 17000+ sales and glowing reviews. One review actually said something like 'looks like it comes from a cruel farm but the quality is nice' and gave them 4 stars

If the signage was inadequate, it wouldn't hurt to complain. The worst they can do is ignore you.
I can't say if signage was there or not. As I've been using that car park for years I simply drove in and parked. I'm not blaming anybody else but it came as a shock. If there had been a sign by the barrier it would have been difficult to get back out as the barrier is at the bottom of a ramp.
I always forget about tea bag root killers until they strike again Lidl peperomia has gone to the compost heap. It had a tiny tea bag and a pot 20 times the volume of the root ball.

When the car park that I use in our local town changed it's payment arrangements they put big unmissable signs at the entrance, by the barriers, at the pay machines and at the pedestrian entrance/exit. And that wasn't even a large cost increase, it was a change from take a ticket when you enter and put it in the machine and pay when you leave, to putting your car reg into the machine to pay when you leave and the camera system knows how long you've been there. There was a small increase in the pricing. Small disadvantage in that I now have to remember what time I arrived if I want to be sure of not going over the time at which the price jumps up hugely (4 hours) rather than being able to check what's printed on the ticket.

A lot of those here @JennyJ except that the first hour is free (2 if it's lunchtime) and you tell the machine how long you want to stay and pay accordingly. Just have to remember which reg no to use. I remember old ones better than new.

Free parking for an hour (or two) @Obelixx , how civilised! Ours is a fixed price for as long as you want on a weekend (I think it's around £3) and has cheap evening rates but on weekday daytimes it's priced (I think) to take advantage of worker. Of course it also hits retired people and those who work at weekends and prefer to shop during the week. I try to go on a Saturday if I can.
