Is there a prize for "most pseudo zebra crossings in a given area" ?

Don't mind a bank of charging stations "because it's the future" but could we at least try not use quite so much footprint as that nonsense!

With many new cars being large SUVs they need wider spaces and maybe a queuing area. With what looks like flats nearby there might be a demand in the future if people can afford the kWh rate - seems to be around 80p in public chargers. Could also open a cafe for something to do whilst charging.

That could be a real money-spinner... Makes me wonder if any other establishments could be provided to make better use of the time spent awaiting a charge... I'm thinking something of value to ones wellbeing rather than what's commonly seen at motorway services.

Perhaps a library of magazines and books where you may do a bit of useful learning and improving yourself rather than boring yourself stupid whilst death-scrolling through social media on your 'phone.

Meanwhile, on my way back from parkrun this morning where I did my David Bailey bit, I couldn't resist a snap of this tub of flowers outside the church where we go for post-parkrun refreshment :)

I got some superb photos of the runners, including a few 'flying feet' :D I'm slowly improving in my chosen photographic discipline :)
