Car-frigging-park!

Well we were running a little late for the cinema this week, and after the Casino Royale incident, we had promised ourselves not to park inside the Harlequins car park.ut seeing as our favourite outside spaces were occupied by builders shite, we took the risk. Fair enough we thought, when we have arrived back to the car past 11pm before, the car park has never been locked – sometimes up to 20 minutes past 11. Not this week – we arrived back at 9 minutes past to find the thing shut as tight as a tight thing!

A call to the car park control centre (having called mum to tell her that her precious yellow beast was locked in,) revealed that the car park opened at 5.30am. So a £10 taxi back to TA’s, and a night on her sofa meant that TA was able to obligingly drop me off at the car park for 7.25am, before charges took effect! I was home before 8.00am, and then in work for 9.45am for a long (relatively) day working until 5.30pm, meaning I missed Neighbours.

Lesson learnt, I am now not going to be so tight as to not pay the £1 parking fee for Mary Arches Street car park, which is open until midnight!
