I just saw an interesting thing. A motorbike was parked at the end of a series of car parks, in the little space between the last line of the last car park and the lines of a Give Way sign. Undoubtedly a ticket-incurring spot. However, the meter maid (sorry, Parking Infringement Officer) was down on her hands and knees with a tape measure taking measurements of the space the bike was taking up and proximity to lines … I wonder if she was working out whether they were in fact in a ticket-incurring spot or perhaps the closer you are to the line the bigger the fine? By the way, the bike was orange … probably why I noticed the whole thing in the first place

New shop. There used to be a tiny jewellery store next to McDonalds on the corner of Victoria and Manners. Noticed this morning that it’s now a barber shop. Is not finished completely and there are building materials lying about and exposed wires but there was a guy in there this morning getting his hair cut.

Except it’s a TT … saw it in Auckland.
