This led me to Arno Guthrie?s song which I had never heard and enjoyed listening to, so thank you. Sadly I have a feeling that not much has changed over the years, especially having seen parking wardens take about 50 photos of cars before they issue a parking ticket for being 5 minutes over on a meter. As an aside, I had no idea that Arno Guthrie was still alive and envy the chance to see him ?Live in Denver?. All this has got me into YouTube this morning, so unlikely to get much done for a while.
