    I thought this was an April Fools joke when I first saw this idea of tripling the parking fees for SUV's but it seems a similar proposal in Paris actually came in to effect.
    That one wouldn't surprise me at all. They have been reducing parking space sizes for some time.

    Hi,
    Easy solution!
    Intrude into a second spot? Pay both meters. Pay fines for either or both expiry.
    City car sneaks into remaining space? No worries, but if that meter expires council tickets both occupying vehicles.
    Cheers

    Eldest wrote an April Fools story for the University magazine saying that due to the high number of students coming to lectures apparently drunk they were introducing mandatory alcohol testing prior to entry to lectures. Those who failed the test would of course not be admitted

    Same day had a call from one of the major UK news broadcasters asking for more details as they wanted to run with the story. Even though it was same day was told had to tell them was a joke

    Hi,
    Years ago, when the Tasman Bridge main eastern abutment had been poured and cooled for weeks under damp hession, it was unveiled to stand bright and shiny in the sunshine of a late March afternoon. A monument to the future of Hobart's traffic engineering prowess.
    On the evening of the 31st, students from the Uni climbing club assembled after dark and abseiled down the new smooth face with paint and brushes to paint a realistic long and fearsome diagonal fissure from top to base before they quietly vanished into the night.
    The red faces of many officials, bureaucrats and pollies was newsworthy for many days.
    Cheers
