If the vehicle is taxed, it has every right to be there......and nothing really for the owner to apologise for.

I think that schools should be about far more than providing academic opportunities. They should also be about broadening pupils horizons through giving their students access to experiences beyond that they would normally get. This may be trips locally, nationally and internationally or maybe through access to extra curricular lessons in areas not covered by the main curriculum. I also think that these opportunities should be inclusive and not just for this who can afford them.

I am polite to them... I can't think that many people would do this job from choice bearing in mind the negative responses and rudeness you are likely to encounter. my view is its just as easy to say a polite and firm 'no thanks' rather than make someone miserable who's already doing a miserable job.

It is a nuisance, I agree.

This seems to be a fairly consistent problem. It has happened to me twice in the last few years and I know it has happened to others. Unfortunately Vespa fuel lines make it easy for the little shits to make a quick get away with your fuel. The police aren't likely to pursue this type of crime. It will happen again so you'll need to work out your own deterrent!

Thanks to you all for your responses. I have got in touch with a number of sites mentioned. Just hope my knees last out.....

I've just moved to ED and am wondering about the possibility of getting an allotment. What's the inside track on obtaining one? Or is it a case of waiting lists being so long it is likely i'd be too decrepit to be in a fit state work one?
