Used the bike to pop into Leeds today for a meeting with a customer. Parked it outside our building , met up with some guys and was just leaving for customer site when I spotted a man in a yellow coat standing by bike. With heart in mouth I rushed over , appologised and asked if I was too late to stop the ticket. Fortunatly I wasn't , he was just digging out a leaflet taht he was going to leave on the bike to let me know where parking bays were and give it an hours grace. So a quick nip down the road 500yrds and ticket escape complete, as a bonus the parking bay was nearer the customer office :=} And to finish up I went to Maplins to get a 10/100 switch. Picked up an 8 port priced at 29.99, but the till rang up 39.99. I protested, showed the man the shelf it was on and the label proclaiming 8 port hubs 29.99. He let me have it for that. Double result day!
