I was walking up Forest Hill Rd earlier and I notice that a car has been strategically parked at the bottom of Canonbie Road, just at the junction. It is plastered (and I do mean plastered) in adverts to buy old cars.

The car is fully taxed until next February and, one assumes, is fully roadworthy. I suspect it won't move very far in that period, if at all. Probably no offence is being committed, unless it is parked illegally close to the junction, which I imagine they have been careful to avoid.

It does however seem odd that you can do that without any planning permission or anything. There was a lot of discussion on here about the church signs in Manor Mount and I would say this is at least as offensive to the eye if not more so. I'd be pretty p**sed off if it was outside my house!!
