Robbin' Bastids

Me and Mrs Dio Bach went out for a nice jaunt to the barrage at Cardiff Bay this afternoon. It was very cold, and a wind chill of minus 80, but all the same, it was nice to get out.

The barrage has been open a year or so now. We first went down there last year. There's loads of parking. Last time it was free. This time its a pound an hour. CARDIFF FUCKIN' COUNCIL YOU MONEY GRUBBIN' BASTARDS...

Like WTF? It could be a major tourist attraction. It could be a great place to visit and take a nice stroll. But no. One Pound an hour to park. They don't even give you a discount - it reads 1 Hour = £1 / 2 Hour = £2 / 3 Hour = £3 (Maximum 3 Hours) - Like why? Most Pay and displays have a sliding scale - 1 Hour = £1 / 2 Hour = £1.60 / 3 Hours + = £2.50 (Maximum 3 Hours) - Would that not be reasonable?

Why the 3 hour limit? What if I want to spend the day there sitting on the sunny bank? I don't want to think how much of our money has been syphoned off to pay for it and the related studies and industries... Looks like they are trying to get it all back on the pay and display... Boners.

Anyway, shot some B&W and some Digital - Here are some nice digitals for you...

Bouys in the mud!
