Well. I came back into Heathrow after a trip at 0600 and as per, before getting very far up the road I thought I’d take 40 winks at South Mimms. I’ve done it a week ago and seemed to be the sensible option. I was ok up to South Mimms as the adrenaline from the approach into LHR was still keeping me awake but by the time you’re very far up the road the sensible thing is to rest before driving 2 more hours as you are starting to trip from being awake 20 hours. Don’t you love our legal regs we have in various forms of transport?
Anyway. I put the eye blind over my eyes, locked the doors, disguised my uniform and slipped the seat back before drifting into that dark place you go to when lagged. Woke up 2 hours later having slept straight through my alarm 
. Quick brew and headed off. Just as I was leaving it suddenly occurred to me about the 2 hours limit on free parking. “Uh oh, I did this the week before too…” Got home, and what do you know, comic timing. On the door mat a very threatening official “parking notice charge” for £100 for falling asleep too long the previous week compete with menacing texts, plenty of warnings and a nice before and after photos of my car 
. And I’ve just done it again 
. Oh dear, pay up twice and move along . Bloody jet lag. Bloody cameras
seems a heavy price to pay for over sleeping. It is my fault I suppose, I did oversleep. I was just trying to do the right thing. No judgement in the world these days though. The way it is
