Coming back from London on Sunday, I decided to eschew Janey's offer of her company all the way to Euston in favour of her offer of a lift to Ealing Broadway. It was completely tipping it down and I was worried about getting soaked at the beginning of the 3 hour journey and then having to sit on the train in wet jeans - yeuck.
It was 9:50, Sunday morning, and there was noone parked outside Ealing Broadway station at all - and all the spaces (private) were empty.
Janey was going to just drop me off but as there was nothing going on outside, she pulled up in a parking space, grabbed her keys and said "I'll just walk you to the train".
She was parked just about where this little white van is parked on the Google StreetView pic.

As we got out of the car, and started walking to the front of the station, a lady who was standing just at the top of the station steps came over and warned us that they'd been busy clamping that morning.
We'd not even reached the far kerb and as we turned round, the guy was walking towards Jane's car with the clamp in his hand! If you pan to the right, the clamper geezer was parked more or less opposite Starbucks.
She ran the 10 steps back to the car and zoomed out of the space. The guy calmly walked back to his car and put the clamp away, and got in.
Thank-you nice lady! You saved us £60!!!!
