Nice place to have a kip.....

I've already posted up about the "quick fix" ideas discussed at the Multi Agency meeting on the 24th March.   Inspector Lange was anxious to deal with people parking up at Stonehenge Bottom to take photographs of the monument......or.......even - have yourself a kip if you will!!    Kip or 40 Winks....40 clins d'oeil!
The weather is beautiful today Wednesday, on Salisbury Plain - wall to wall sunshine and blue skies - the perfect day to view Stonehenge!    We're told by Stonehenge General Manager that ticket bookings have increased to the level of that around the Christmas holidays and the car park, was certainly into over flow mode - with cars parked on the grass above the parking area when we passed.  

 

However.....here, we have Monsieur Norbert Dentrassangle parked up at Stonehenge Bottom on the A303.   He was first clocked by Watch Bustard at 15.15.  Le Monsieur was just dropping down from his cab at the time, and making his way to the gate into the WHS.  20 minutes later, banking all done, Watch Bustard comes out of town via West Amesbury....and..... Le Monsieur is still there parked up as before.  Only this time.....Watch Bustard clocks the driver closing the curtains of his cab!!!   Well, you would if you wanted a bit of shut eye and traffic was heavy but flowing past your cab!!!    Anyway! Watch Bustard returns to the nest, grabs the wife and camera - (which, wife says.... should always be carried anyway!) and about 16.30 our foreign gentleman is still sound asleep, while having his photos taken....and we noted that on our second round, he'd been joined by a couple of bikes - probably having a fag stop! 
 




Can you see the motorbike in front at 16.30


These are the words from The Good Inspector if we see this type of thing again.....

"Thank you for passing these photos to the Police. We are making enquiries with the HGV company to establish why the driver parked there and to ensure that the driver is dealt with appropriatly.

We would encourage people to call 101 if they see other HGVs parking at Stonehenge bottom.

Please ensure that any pictures taken whilst driving on the A303 are taken by the passenger and not the driver".

Many thanks

Inspector Christian Lange

today I phoned on the non urgent police phone in Amesbury-the A 303 at Stonehenge Fork was constricted by numerous cars and motorbikes parked on the verge-on both sides of the road.There were officers attending,but I was informed that this is not an illegal matter-how long before pedestrians,or unwary drivers are injured?
