Day to day life and muse postings and anything else I would like to share my world with you.
General anything that equals forty-two or majorly upsets my state of equilibrium e.g. less than or greater than forty-two.
At the front door there are a few spaces to park, so if you get one of these, park as normal, display your badge in your windscreen and you get 3 hours free. If these are full, go to any car park, find a space & park up. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR REGISTRATION & TAKE YOUR BADGE WITH YOU - do not put it in the windscreen! Go to the front desk, show your badge & quote your registration. You will then get 3 hours free, but if longer, go back to the desk for advice on how to pay the excess. This is the current arrangement, which may change in a few months once the systems have settled in. Hope this is helpful!

Consultation proposing changing the Highway Code to promote remote control parking released
The government has outlined proposals to change the rules around the use of remote control parking, paving the way for Great Britain to harness the benefits of the technology.
With manufacturers constantly competing to bring drivers the latest in advanced drive technologies these changes will update the law and ensure it is flexible for future breakthroughs.
Announcing the start of the consultation, Transport Minister, Jesse Norman said:
The government is determined that Britain should lead the way in embracing the safe deployment of new vehicle technology.
Features such as remote control parking and motorway assist have the potential to transform car travel, adding greater convenience and accessibility to drivers, so that they can park and drive with more confidence.
The exciting developments outlined in the consultation have the potential to revolutionise how we drive. For those with mobility issues remote control parking has the potential to make far more places accessible, while even for people with small garages, or just faced with navigating inconsiderate parking it will prove handy.
Similarly, cars with improved cruise control functions will be able to make journeys on UK roads more energy efficient, meaning cheaper, cleaner driving.
Manufacturers invest billions in engineering technology to enhance driver comfort, safety and convenience, so these proposals, providing clarity and confidence to consumers, are good news. We welcome government’s continued commitment to keep the UK at the forefront of connected and autonomous vehicle development and rollout.
