I'm with you, I avoided too - now i don't avoid, i think it's great that i
can find parking. If you talk to some of the retailers they're happy about

always going to be complainers, it's human nature, if it wasn't parking
they'd be complaining about the roadworks, or the weather or the something
else, something else.
