That is my experience. After paying to park in the Hove Town Hall multi-storey car park, my ticket fell on the floor and I received a Penalty Charge Notice. On returning to the car and finding the PCN, I immediately visited the Parking Shop (conveniently located in those days at Hove Town...
I appreciate I may be over-reacting here, but "all northerners are thick" comes across, in a thread like this, as unhumorous bigotry - and not a great deal different from a comment like "all 15 year old girls are gagging for it".
As far as the non-emergency patient transport service is concerned, the current contract between the NHS and the South East Coast Ambulance Service comes to an end on 31 March 2016. After that date, transport will be provided by Coperforma Ltd, a private company based in Hampshire. SECAMB...
As do parts of what became Greater Manchester in the 1970s, to say nothing of places like Gisburn which are now in the administrative county of Lancashire, despite being part of the historic West Riding.
The technicalities of the boundary of Yorkshire are a bit complicated, but I think it is universally accepted that the County of Yorkshire consists of the three Ridings and the City of York.

I was BORN in Leeds and I'm quite proud of that, but - despite my complete sympathy for the "Support Your Local Club" mantra - I can't bring myself to anything like being a LUFC supporter, not even when they are playing another team that I have no interest in.
Roz and I once flew to a game at Burnley, fitting in a visit to see my mum, who lived three miles from Manchester airport. The journey back had us sharing the plane with the Albion team and a group of Palace fans who had been to their game at Preston. Great japes were enjoyed.
Footballers, especially young footballers, should be REQUIRED to play a few games of rugby union, as part of their training. And then they would learn that physical contact with an opponent is no reason to collapse on the ground and expect play to be suspended.
I'm not denying that Cellino has his own agenda. But it remains a fact that away attendances in Italy are much lower than they are in England. The English objection to Cellino's wishes (as well as the Sky practice of chopping and changing kick-off times) includes consideration of the interests...
... which was provoked by the owner (Martin Elliott) buying a pocket calculator and working out how much money Steve King had cost him and how unsustainable the "project" had become.
When I was a kid, I followed my home-town club, Newport County. Like Wolves, they played in black and gold (although it was called amber in Newport). The only other English team to play in those colours was Hull City.
Neither Wolves nor Hull were in the same division as Newport County. This...
Cellino comes from a country where there is no great tradition of attending away games. It's a straightforward matter of the distances involved. Milan is nearer to Brighton than it is to Palermo. No-one travels that distance to a routine away game.
