I got clamped when we were helping our daughter move ito her new flat in the salubrious borough of Dalston in that London. Those clampers are scary guys – I was legally parked in the marked bay to her flat but they made me feel I got off lightly with £120 unlocking fee and no tow-away 🙁
I moved the car to the side street, but later that night, a bloke took a shot at a copper and the whole road was cordoned off and I wasn't allowed to go in and get the car till 6:30 yesterday evening. Could have been worse – if it had been any later we'd have missed the Archers.
Good news though – we met the new boyfriend. He rides a nice fixie and he works at Rapha, so I'm looking forward to my Christmas present!
