	Gin, hope your grandson gets the job. I do M & S every Friday with friends so we'll see what's happening at ours. Got two lovely lotus lights for the fireside at BHS this morning plus some odds and ends. It's such a shame it's closing as I think our local one is great. I feel sorry for all those people who have to set about looking for other jobs.

	Apparently, if you want to stay for more than 2 hours, you have to pay something like £12 in the Smiths shop there! :-0 :-0 :-0

	They were a private parking company Gin...in the motorway services, and not strictly able to impose that type of fine on the public....there are ways round it. They are hired by the services :-0 :-0

	They take a photo of you entering and again leaving Lyn! It's all done with cameras and computers now. They could do this anywhere now, like Supermarkets etc, so be careful everyone :-(

	Ann - Grandson had a job interview at a fish farm near there, and J decided to take him as his car has been playing up. Traffic on the way home was horrendous :-0

	Yes Fly. A couple of days after we got home, we had a parking fine for Chester Services saying we had overstayed the 2 hours by 31 minutes and had to pay a £100 fine. But that they would accept £50 if we paid it before June 7th! :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 I didn't know there were restrictions at motorway services. I was more concerned that I had caused Ann to have one too!

	OH phoned them up, and told them about my health problems and why we needed to be there so long. (Not cos we were chatting for Wales of course:-D) They told us to appeal sending a letter and proof from the doc, which I did. So waiting for the verdict now :-D :-D :-D
