never saw the point of these.

These rising bollards stopped motorists rat running down the George
Street, which they did before and now do again, ignoring "minor"
things like road signs and traffic orders in the process.

The intention was to make George Street a calm public realm, with
access for parking still possible to all parts of the street.

I have seen the car park of a pub which had (and probably still has)
a mark on the wall indicating how high up high tides will be. It is
left to the intelligence of motorists to work out whether they
should park there or not depending on the tides. If they don't know
they can always ask in the pub.

Golden Ball in Oxcliffe Hill, Lancs.

Correct.

Correct.

The main car park is round the back, thobut. And the major chiz is that the
camp site next door has turned the bit we used to use over to static
caravans, so the BHPC doesn't get to drink in the Golden Ball any more :-(

I have a shell collection, have you seen it? I keep it scattered
on the world's beaches.

When you say "rat running" do you mean passing and repassing?

Why not do it using common sense then, as they realised in Fryslân a
decade or two ago?

The Blue(?) Anchor, Bosham wot is in Sussex has a similarly noted
wall. A fiend of mine,salty sea dog yotty type and Should Know Better,
parked his ageing Chavalier there and Lo! the tide came in and it had
to be towed out by a Big Tractor.

Correct.

To see this one has to take all sorts of computer viral risks - it seems to

Knobs to that.

Hippie? Yes, that's me. Red-light-jumping? No. Hypocrite? probably, on
occasion, but not about jumping red lights.
