Free Classic Parking.

Turns out your silver and black number plate gives your car a cloak of invisibility.

"The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs told The Sunday Telegraph that around 20 members had confessed to exploiting the loophole."

Ha ! Fake nooz and the media hoax has killed April fool's day dead. Nobody believes anything these days, the world has become a cynical old place.

Personally I thought it was a great story, I managed to get past the ANPR at Waitrose without paying this morning and if the barrier hadn't dropped onto my bonnet on exit this afternoon it would have been a great saving.
