Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th November 2023.

11th November, 2023.

Yes: you’re right.

It’s a Saturday.

And?

Bar having Republica’s first LP on, in the background?

I’m expecting a quiet day.

Heigh-ho!

Hmmm … 

I have to admit, I caught some news, today: on the BBC’s Teletext service.

Seemingly?   And from January of 2024?

Regulations that will fine drivers who park on the pavement, £100.

Well done, them.

Now … 

When will Brentwood Council be doing this?

I guarantee you, there’s cars on the pavement, as I write.
