I have seen these in Macclesfield town centre.

Tw@t, I bet his missus battered the crap out of him, and hopefully his insurance didn't cover him into the bargain

The bollards in Macc never fooking work though, and they're as slow as most of the residents

A number of those cars perched atop the bollard that blocks off the lower high street ended up in the Echo when they were first fitted.
People took note after that
Not heard of any for a few years now.

And wtf does 'SIAL not Search' mean
