parking regulated by the sun

A ticket machine sporting a nifty solar panel

I saw this on my wanderings around town today - a solar powered parking ticket machine! Whatever next?

    So if it’s a dull day does everyone get free parking?

    The wierd thing is that, on almost every other street, it is free parking - if time limited. So perhaps we’re just penalising those pesky tourists who want to come to our town when it’s sunny.

    How long before someone tapes a black bag over the solar panel, or vandalises it?

    Great idea though - but I suspect the panel needs to be 12 feet higher…

    *shocked* We don’t have vandals in Harrogate. We’re civilised up here you know. ;-)
