Ronnie Robicheaux was a humble rice farmer in Assumption Parish. Then one day a red Mazda Miata driven by Ambrosa Arceneaux had a blow-out tire on the bayou road beside his fields. Being a fine Cajun gentleman, Ronnie changed the tire for Ambrosia, and Ambrosia offered to take Ronnie all the way to New Orleans for Jambalaya at Arnaud's Restaurant and a sight seeing tour of Rue Bassin.
New Orleans has plenty of "U Pay 'em" parking lots, but we totally misinterpreted today's theme at We're Here. Apparently the phrase "Pay and Display" means something entirely different in the United Kingdom..........

Pay and display machines are a subset of ticket machines used for regulating parking in urban areas or in car parks. It relies on a customer purchasing a ticket from a machine and displaying the ticket on the dashboard, or windscreen or passenger window of the vehicle. Details included on a printed ticket are generally the location and operator of the machine, expiry time, fee paid and time entered.
Better viewed large please xx
this car parked dated back to 1755. in a time where you and not your cart would been clamped in the stocks, for one day for each of the hours your cart was left illegally in its parking space. parking restrictions where farer in them days
Looking the other way from my 'Down to the Underground' shot - literally I just turned around and there it was.
You might have to look closely. I took this because I liked how the sign post was learning oddly and in towards the pay and display machine.

This rider has broken car park etiquette and taken a full space, but has he Paid and Displayed for the pleasure? Most riders use a corner space or pavement. But I do admire this riders thoughtfulness of leaving his vehicle in the carpark while he does his shopping without clogging up the towns pavements, I wonder how far he commuted on his Mobility Scooter to get here, he's obviously from out of town as he's parked in the car park and not on his driveway, the only problem with a Mobility Scooter being parked deep in a bay is that a lot of motorists would swing into the bay at speed thinking that it was free only for them to get disappointed at the last moment when setting sight upon the parked Mobility Scooter. Perhaps car parks in town centres could divide up a bay into smaller segments for Mobility Scooters, and charge them to park at a fraction of the cost of a car.
MOBILITY SCOOTERS PROVIDE GENERAL TRANSPORT SOLUTION OF THE FUTURE
As Mobility Scooter technology develops and battery life becomes less of an issue (range anxiety) enabling Mobility Scooters to travel at say up to 30mph, then Mobility Scooter Transportation can become a real travel option for a much wider segment of the general populace. So imagine 80% of short journeys being made Mobility Scooters, then towns could divide their car lanes into three and reduce congestion. So a country lane in effect becomes a six lane dual carriageway, and an eight lane motorway becomes a 28 lane motorway (you could get four lanes in both hard shoulders and still keep a hard shoulder) probably reducing congestion to zero on Europes busiest Motorways - the M25 and M6.
And what you ask of the cars and lorries on our roads? Make them nocturnal? and poor BP and Shell? - put 'em out of business? Sorry, but if we are going to deal with a realistic problem then we do have to be radical.
As for range anxiety - the mobility scooter is light enough to be able to pedal when the battery runs out - if pedals and chain were fitted!
Have you snapped a mobility scooter? All submissions will be greatly appreciated.

Information sign detailing the quite extensive terms and conditions at Cherry Tree Car Park at Dereham in Norfolk (UK).
Breckland Council do not charge for the use of this car park.
An example of how council operated public car parks at tourist destinations should be done. If Breckland can manage it why can't others?

The sentence I find most offensive is right at the bottom of the small print. The Council does not accept liability however caused in respect to any loss, damage or injury of any nature to anyone or any property while using this car park .
If you pay to park here then you should expect a duty of care from the council to protect you and your property whilst on their property.

A Pay and Display machine for parking your car.
How many car users actually bother to park in pay and display areas, and buy their ticket?
Machine no 95.

Another Fun shot, but we do have a lot of amusement arcade here.

This is Birmingham New Street Station from Queens Drive. Was heading round to see what demoliton was going on.
But first the platforms, tracks and trains on this side.
A sign of New Street Station Car Park. But its all taxis over here!
Grim grim grim. This particular example - behind Tesco on the Cowley Road in Oxford - requires you to input your car registration number. Diabolical interface, dreadful process. Notice all the instructions pointing to buttons which are otherwise indistinguishable. The requirement for the registration number seems like overkill - can there really be a problem with ticket touting in a small car park at the back of a supermarket on the outskirts of Oxford?
How can it be more difficult to pay a quid to park a car than it is to get a thousand pounds out of the bank?
