I "had a word" at the local Halfrauds today. They moved their four Sheffield stands (fair enough, I'm sure they had their reasons) but today, they'd "parked" a couple of trailers right next to them, making them pretty tough to access.
The bod in the store explained that they used to park the for-sale trailers on the verge near the road, but some enterprising
pikey chap one day hitched one up to his van and drove off with it. I suggested they chain them to the rather conveniently placed tree nearby, or clamp them - rather than blocking the only cycling parking there.
I told them it was a pretty poor show, for a bike shop. They agreed
