My understanding has always been that is illegal to obstruct a dropped kerb, this has been the case long before 2003. It may be that the rules mentioned are something to do with local parking enforcement guidelines. Where I live, many cars are parked illegally (Road Traffic Act) but the police...

It looks promising but I think the first episode tried to deal with too much so there wasn't any real development of the storyline - everything happened just too fast. It should get better though.

Our GP is tremendous.

Always wear sunglasses in the rain - they keep the umbrellas out of your eyes. I'm surprised that the taller ones find this a problem. I am 5'6" and find that umbrella spikes usually come at me at eye level (maybe I live where the average height is lower?), I always push umbrellas out of the...

If the car is being driven in order to get the MOT it is not a problem. No MOT / Tax does not invalidate the insurance.

Can you get hold of a 1970 Redifusion? I missed an episode of 'Lost in Space'.
