Was browsing the usual sellers, places. Noticed this up. Kind of unusual piece. Always good to see something else unusual



The simply pleasure of holding life’s vintage treasures is truly a joy. Some stay, some go to make room for others, you play with them for a while then look for a new toy, it is an addiction at least, a fascination of what is no more at best!

James,

There is a LIP with such a "complication", the LIP stop. I remember when the parkmeter started here in France, it was really a trauma.
Now in Paris, I don't pay, the fine is 11 euros when the parking cost for the whole day is 10 euros.

My local council charges £4 for all day, with a £60 penalty !!!!! - generously reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days.

Compulsive behaviour is a symptom of Parkinson's, so I can't help collecting watches ;-) - but then, so is drooling :-( .
