When mum moved in with me in 1995 I took her down to John Lewis - then in the centre as she wanted lots of bits for her cottage here and the internet wasnt really going in the uk then.
Anyway it was a nightmare getting close enough for her as an elderly disabled lady, and I walked her over into the store having parked on double yellows using her blue disablity badge, and when I got back THE CAR HAD BEEN TOWED AWAY
We had to get a taxi way out of town to the compound, together with all the duvets lights and bedding she had bought before I could get back to her, then they charged us £110 and we had to pay in CASH
I swore at the time (amongst other things) that I would never go back to Bristol again
