You just got to love the inefficiency of my city council. (eg. When it's slippery and they put salt on the roads in the inner city within a couple of hours it is followed by the sweeper card that cleans it all up)
For as long as I can remember we've had problems with patron of one café parking his car, on an almost daily basis, on the side walk on the corner. Almost blocking the door of the lingerie store (and before that, our store). Talking with the guy is impossible, even the police gave up, and the café refused to force him to park somewhere legally. Eventually the council put a wooden bollard on the corner, but he pushed that out of the street with his car, he did the same with the big stone bollard (he's got a big Range Rover).
Eventually, about ten years ago, the council put down a big stone. It's the bane of every driver who wants to round that corner whilst backing up (it's so low you don't see it) and of many drunken cyclist. But no more Range Rover.
The council recently decided/discovered that it was a special type of stone and it warranted a plaque. So they took out the stone (back was the RR) to attach the plaque. When they put it back today it turns out the plaque is upside down.
