Markymarkmark Nov 2019 1:56pm, 25 Nov 2019 10,178 posts	Quote Pin Markymarkmark The A board for a local barber company. It's left out 24/7 - in the segregated cycle route. And it's been chained to a lamp-post to stop people moving it out of the cycle lane. One day I'll divert down onto the side road and front up the owner of the shop, but it's always a few minutes I don't have!

Markymarkmark Nov 2019 2:10pm, 25 Nov 2019 10,179 posts	Quote Pin Markymarkmark On my list, Mrs Jigs! But the same council put the lamp-post in the cycle track, so I'm not hopeful!

XB Nov 2019 5:45pm, 25 Nov 2019 8,605 posts	Quote Pin XB (speak to the barber and tell him why it's causing ground years. He might be a reasonable chap and be grateful for the opportunity to infringe the gears.)
Markymarkmark Nov 2019 9:49pm, 25 Nov 2019 10,181 posts	Quote Pin Markymarkmark That is my preference XB! It's a time thing. As much as anything I suspect I'm annoyed with myself for not having got along the side road where the shop is yet.
