Who is Options and why does it dislike the citizens of South Ealing so much? Midday today and a convoy of Options vehicles has parked itself around a busy bend feeding the mini-roundabout on St Mary's Rd outside the excellent Zayka restaurant. Not content with illegally blocking a busy road some pavement vandalism is on the agenda as they park up over the pavement and then there's making life difficult for the hard-working postman as he tries to cross the road, and blocking the pavement for passers by. Perhaps someone could give the Options gentleman in the green high-viz jacket with his back to us a crash course in the Highway Code, a parking ticket or two, and a course in basic manners: if you have blocked the pavements you could move out of the way of passers-by and not block it further by lounging against one of the lorries chatting to your mate and blocking what's left of the narrowed pavement blocking it for passers by.
