On completion, 'granny' had great difficulty parking her old style mini cooper, and then only with the gates left open.
    Indeed definitely some well a lot of artistic license in that drawing-sketch of Mitre Square!!!!

    I've created a hi-def image of this. I posted it as a blog post because when I upload large images to Casebook the resolution is reduced and the quality gets mangled!

    Here's the Hi-Def of Christan's receipt:


    Here's the drawing that appears in the top left of that receipt:

    Thanks Richard,
    I love how busy with traffic Mitre Square looks in the pic, and often wonder how many of those or other carts were parked there overnight.
