I have just received a response from the CEO of Jubilee Pool who I had also emailed back in April making reference to the decision. He is still maintaining that as they have contracted the management of the car park to Parking Eye that only they can deal with it. However, are they not jointly...

I have visited Penzance twice since this incident and up to three weeks ago the signs and pay and display machine remained. I am unlikely to be back in Penzance again until early April but in response to a posting on a PZ forum the other day someone commented that the pay and display machine...

An update on the saga of the misleading signs at Jubilee Pool. Someone who pursued the matter further and took it to POPLA with the same issue as I had has won their poplar appeal https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/jubilee-pool-wrong-over-confusing-11174438 "Jubilee Pool wrong...

For those who are also interested in things nautical the annual North West Ship Show will be taking place this Saturday at Old Christ Church, Waterloo near Liverpool.

Yes I am marginally nearer Mossley Hill - only the 80 bus passes Mossley I could walk it but it takes 15 minutes along Greenbank / North Mossley Hill Road and then Elmsley Road. The 86 which goes down Smitdown is much more frequent with some journeys operated by Arriva and some by Stagecoach...

I live off Smithdown Road, not far from the site of the old Sefton Park station. That places me halfway between Edge Hill and Mossley Hill stations. The bus service along Smithdown Road 75, 76, 86, 86A, 86C take you close to Lime Street - 80 is now a bit of a walk as they were rerouted...

VIN Number - that isn't as easily cloned.

Yes that is what I had in mind. I have quite often watched Traffic Cops and the stinger is not that effective. Some keep going until the wheel rims are wearing out and by then the car is dangerously out of control anyway. If police could stop a car remotely it would obviate the need in most...

In the past two weeks there have been three "wrong way" incidents on Irish, English and Welsh roads. On the M9 in Ireland a week or so ago three sisters and one sister's son was critically injured in a head on collision on the M9 mtorway after a Garda persuit resulted in them making off wrong...

The saga of the St Anthony Car Park continues the council are now looking into it. Interestingly the car park was once owned by the council but was apparently gifted with the former council owned pool as a way of generating additional income. "Jubilee Pool probe launched by Cornwall Council...

A further update on this car park which has a again appeared on the Cornwall Live web site today https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/jubilee-pool-threatened-court-action-11114942 Someone else I was in contact with who took his appeal to POPLA had his appeal rejected.

The Manx Electric Railway is good for pubs located at the three principal stations: Douglas Derby Castle - Terminus Tavern Laxey - Mines Tavern Ramsey - Fynoderee Distillery and Bar (they do sell beer as well as spirits). Fynoderee can be seen in this view taken at Ramsey. One could get...

No it's not it is a standard Pay and Display machine which behaves like a pay and display machine.

An update on this issue - the misleading signs have now made the Cornwall Live news web site: "Anger and confusion at 'pay and display' AND 'pay on exit' at Jubilee Pool car park One peeved user who got fined claimed it's a 'scam' with the conflicting messaging between signage and the machine"...

Okay at the moment though turn around at Liverpool was slow today possibly due to having to squeeze on extra vehicles.
