This time to royal mail who evidently seem to be completely incompetent at delivering mail! and answering phones in order to establish where ones mail has gone! So follows an irrate email to royal mail asking where the hell my recorded delivery item has vanished too. x

Passport photos

I have just heard the oddest comment about passport photos. Someone in the office has just said 'i look rather hot in my passport photo' I am pretty sure that everyone hates their passport photo don't they?!?! I look forward to the day that I can change mine as i look sooo different from when it was taken back at the tender age of 15! haha

Fed up of not being able to park!

So i finally reached breaking point after Friday! I watched as some fool tried (bless him he really did) to parallel park on our road! and hit W's car-then left his car half in the road so we couldn't get the car out!! :( So I have now decided to ask the council when and what they are going to do about it!

Please see what i wrote-I was rather impressed!

Dear Sir/Madam, 

I have a query that I was hoping someone would be able to answer. A couple of months ago, a policeman came around our street to talk about parking etc-a lot of residents are leaving cones out to stop people parking there who work in town and don't want to pay in the park and ride.

 Unfortunately, I live on a street that has no restrictions, and it is very frustrating to know that when I go to work in the morning, there is someone who is not a resident waiting to jump into my space as soon as i leave. I cannot finish work early as I know that I will have nowhere to park my car on my return as the road, and those surrounding it are filled by cars. I find this ridiculous as there are 2 perfectly good park and ride facilities just around the corner that I am pretty sure most of these people must drive past on their way to my road! I live on Langton Street-where the only roads nearby that have restrictions are Christchurch and Hartington road. Somebody even parked their car half in the middle of the road on friday and blocked 2 parked cars so we had to call the police to move it (after he had hit a car whilst trying to park) 

There are many people who have resorted to putting notes in their window as they are evidently finding it frustrating as well. If you go out at any point during the week day, you can guarantee that you cannot park when you get back. We have a motorbike, and when not in use it is kept in the shed- however you have to plan when you are going to get it out and try and park blocking the alleyway inbetween the 2 houses otherwise you can be stuck for days not being able to get it out, when this is the main form of transport for getting to work you can imagine how frustrating it is. We will no longer leave the bike parked in the street as some idiot managed to reverse into it because she didn't see it/hear it when she pushed it over a metre and up onto the curb! 

The policeman that came round was understanding of those putting out cones-it is frustrating if you get back from work to find that you cannot even park in your own street, and he assured us that there were plans for it to be permitted this year. Would it be possible to find out when his will be? 

I understand that parking in Preston is expensive, but It is the same people parked on out street everyday like clockwork and it gets really frustrating when all you want to do when you get home is park and get in the warm house, and you have to drive round for ages just to get a parking space. 

Thank you in anticipation of your response.
