Yes, size really does matter and biggest, as kinder women have always made clear, is not always best.
Norwich City Council is proposing to charge drivers for parking permits based on length. Of their cars, that is.
Cars measuring less than 3.92m would charged the lowest price, between 3.92m and 4.45m would be charged a little more and owners of cars longer than that would have to pay top whack.
All, of course, in the name of lower emissions.
Good lord is nothing sacred. Why don’t councils just get on with the core job, emptying bins?
As if it’s not bad enough watching stunted jobsworth parking diversification officers strutting about with their hand-held computers, now the flat-hatted morons will be entrusted with surveyors tape measure. Or perhaps they will be allowed a theodolite so long as they don’t think it’s a Greek table lamp.
Alan Partridge may have to relocate from the travel tavern over this one.
And on that bombshell...
