I don't see what all the fuss is about parking meters. Personally I'd bin the lot, that would really help us drivers Rishi, but seeing as we've got them and councils need ‘em to pay for their deep pile carpets in their cushy town halls we might at least remove the pain of paying for the bleeding things.

For a start these pensioners have got to get real. No one goes around with bags of coins anymore. I don't have a bean on me. Shrapnel went out with Covid so if these wrinklies are still able to get behind a steering wheel without backing into a wall then they can handle a debit card or even, dare I suggest, a mobile (and – gawd forbid – apps).
