I have just identified a previously unrecognised traffic hazard – the fish & chip shop
Actually I have long known about the one at our end of the village, which is obviously well known on the wagon-drivers grapevine. Every lunch time they will park up, as brazenly as you like, no matter how big the wagon, just short of the traffic lights, while they pop over to the chippy. But I always thought that was a one off – they have a long lonely road up over the moor to traverse before they will get another chance for sustenance
But today I saw that the same thing happens at the chippy in the centre of the village. There was quite a jam this lunchtime as traffic tried to squeeze past the hungry driver who had helpfully parked, as far as he could, on the pavement
