Why didn’t they check?

Too lazy to wipe a bit snow away.

As I believe it (certainly true to Kingston Council), a photograph has to be taken by the warden as evidence that no permit is displayed. I would imagine looking at the photograph - and it must have applied to most cars in this street as all would have been covered in snow - the warden would have been disciplined - or counselled as we say today.

You mean he'd have been told he was 'A Very Naughty Boy!' ?

The discussion about books being regarded as disposable has been given a thread of its own:

Here's yet another quiz that others here might enjoy: Which fictional animal character are you?

I could guess what some of the other possible results might be from quotes that I recognised, but the one I turned out to be was Charlotte the spider from Charlotte's Web, who is one of my favourite characters from childhood, so I'm quite happy!

I find these kinds of quizzes almost impossible to resist!

I'm Mrs. Beaver from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis:

Warm, busy, and sensible, it’s the joy of your life to make your home a comfort to your family and friends, and to ensure everyone is well fed.

From what I know of you Anita, I'd say that's you to a 'T'.

Wolfgang · Post by **Wolfgang** » 09 Feb 2018, 17:41

I second that

A little anxious by nature, and occasionally so obstinate that you get yourself into trouble, you’re nonetheless good-hearted and utterly devoted to your friends, just like Moley

Maybe I'd better read the book to see what I'm like!

The quiz was a bit of fun, but some of the questions were hard to answer, so not sure if it's a true reflection of me, but it could probably have been worse.

Moonraker · Post by **Moonraker** » 09 Feb 2018, 18:08

Sorry to say I couldn't complete it as Qs 2 and 3 didn't give a suitable option. I didn't carry on.

Courtenay · Post by **Courtenay** » 09 Feb 2018, 18:12

By the sound of that, I'm guessing Nigel would have been Eeyore.

Post by **Anita Bensoussane** » 09 Feb 2018, 19:09

I think you're right, Courtenay!

(I too guessed that Eeyore was one of the possible characters.)

Cheers, Katharine and Wolfgang! Aw - Moley is a lovely character, Katharine!

Question 2 was particularly hard, I thought!

I found that no answer was really applicable in at least 2 places... and I got Moley, which I don't think was particularly accurate.
