I spent the weekend finally going down South to visit friends and lovers. Oh much fun was had, except I think I might have to sue waitrose.

Let me explain....

It was a lovely semi-sunny saturday and my friend Charlie and her incredibly placid baby (she shouldn't be allowed out with this baby actually because it will fool people into thinking all babies are good like her and so other people will want one - I think she should be imprisoned til she's 13 and has turned into a nightmare, then no one will reproduce) her baby does look an awful lot like Phil Mitchell so I suppose this makes up for her lovely nature. Anyway, we drive into Richmond (yar, darhling) and decide to park up in Waitrose for ease more than anything. We then spend a lovely four hours strolling along the river ('what's that one called again?' I ask 'That'll be the Thames, Rapunzel'), have, sorry 'do', lunch in a quaint little pub with a very sexy barman, wander back into Richmond, have a smooch around that big department store - am very good and buy nothing - literally a first for me, then decide the time has come to depart.

This is the good bit...

If you park up to three hours it's £3.50 (not too bad I hear you say)

But over 3 hours it's £20. £20!!! I couldn't believe it! It actually made me feel physically ill. Nothing I could do but pay the fine, Charlie paid half bless her, then we left and the barrrier in the car park was up so I needn't have paid a penny. Just bloody typical. NOT a happy bunny. Bastards.
