In my home town, there's been an impressive piece of graffiti/wall art in the town centre for a few years now. A couple of weeks ago, whilst driving past, I thought "That would make a great backdrop for a photo or two of my Zed".
It's basically near the road side and there's access to it via a kind of driveway suitable for vehicles. So me, being the law abiding citizen I am, I figured I send the local council an email asking if I could have permission to park my car in front of the aforementioned wall for a maximum of about 10 minutes, just so I could get some pics.
The council responded almost immediately and said they'd forwarded my email to the appropriate department and I should hear back soon.
A week later (the beginning of last week) I hadn't heard anything, so I replied to the original response asking if there was a specific person I could contact, to which they gave me a name and email address. So I fired off an equally polite email, asking if I could just park there for a brief moment. I stated I wouldn't do it at peak times and would probably do it on an evening or Sunday afternoon (trying cause the least amount of fuss).
I just want ed to get the thumbs up from a council official, in case the Rozzers turned up and I could quote a name to them.
Anyways, here how the wall USED to look as recently as last week. (Courtesy of Google Earth).
And here's how it looks now:
They simply could of said "Thank you for your inquiry, but no".
