I can't help thinking these crows are all looking skywards and watching the con-trails thinking to themselves...

...look at that git showing off!

Take a look at this; it's an image of our village cop-shop, better known as the Police House.

Now please don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for the things the Police do and the crap they have to put up with in their day-to-day duties so be assured I'm not knocking the force as a whole. My beef is with a couple, just two, village bobbies who should damn well know better.

If you haven't already guessed, this is an Usky Rant!

So what's the rant all about? Well, look at the picture again...

Notice where the two official police vehicles are parked?

See anything wrong with that?

Okay... there are 10 spaces in the car park and the only vehicles present are the four you can see in the image.

What pisses me off are the two "official" vehicles inconsiderately parked in the two spaces nearest the front door and main entrance...

Why is the police 4X4 parked in the disabled parking space? Because the moron who drives it refuses to walk anywhere!

What the flip is he point of creating a disabled parking space if the damn police are allowed to abandon one of their vehicles in it? If the space is supposed to be used by the police... put a Police Parking notice on it!

What about the other car... surly that's legally parked?

Well yes it is... right in front of main entrance, which just happens to be where the wheelchair ramp is! So tell me... how would I get my wheelchair into the police house, should I need to?

Hmmm...

And don't think this is just something that happens occasionally... oh no... you'll find the 4X4 parked as near the door as it can possibly get every day of the week... usually in the disabled parking spot!

This is Usky, bloody frustrated, downright annoyed and really uptight...

Rant over.

To my eye, there's something vaguely foreign about this image... it reminds me of France... or Belgium... or Holland... almost anywhere in fact, except where it is... Wales.

Do you see things in your local area that conjure up foreign parts?
