THIS week, I had cause to visit the Kingfisher Centre for the purchase of a replacement copy of Lorraine Kelly's Bums & Tums Workout Video.
I don't actually have a problem with either of those particular parts of my anatomy, but being a male of a certain age I do find Lorraine Kelly in a leotard compulsive viewing.
I do, however, have to watch it with the sound off as I find the woman's voice immensely irritating and would rather undergo a DIY vasectomy using only a garden strimmer and no anaesthetic than listen to it.
I had decided to park my car, a rather sporty G-reg Ford Escort 1.3L in French burgundy and olde English rust with classic 1970s wheel trim, in a side street to avoid paying the 50p it would cost me in the multi-storey.
Well, you can imagine my disgust to find on my return a note on the windscreen proclaiming that if the owner of this car failed to remove it within two weeks, the council would be informed and asked to tow it away.
I shall in future shop in Bromsgrove if this is the sort of behaviour one can expect of the residents of Redditch.
