Parking at Goblintown

annwfynIt appears that the inevitable has finally happened.
Sincepierot and I moved to Goblintown, we have been parking in the car park of the drive through McDonalds, which is just across the road from us. This has saved us the £80 and hassle required to park on the road (bless you, Southwark County Council).
This morning I arrived at my car, to find a terribly nice note from McDonalds pinned to the windscreen. It appears a lot of locals have been using their car park quite a bit. As a result, they suspect they may be losing custom during busy hours. Therefore, from March 14th, they will be instituting a maximum parking time of 1 hour, and using a clamping company to enforce this. They were very sweet about this, and it's quite nice of them to give everyone two weeks notice.
However, it appears I either need to find another parking place, or £80 in the next two weeks.
*looks mournful*
In other news, my museology presentation seemed to go well, though I suspect I may have overran my allotted fifteen minutes. I can, however, still use sentences like 'the process can therefore be seen as an intrinsic part of the mortuary ritual, and this the core identity of the object' in all sincerity. And sound clever while doing it.
Go me!
