Have you had a "pinky" yet? A what? A "pinky", the wee pink form our new meter maid Leigh Boese attaches to the cars of motorists who leave their cars in expired meter parking areas. You now have five minutes' grace from the time your "expired" sign goes up, to the time you become eligible for a "pinky" - and that can cost you 2s.6d. A pat on the back to the Council for commencing this scheme. Parking revenue, we are certain, will soar.
