I’m always amused at parking spaces, because we are always charged way too much to park at shopping centres. So I’m guessing that in order to make it seem worthwhile, Cavendish Square have added some new toys to the parking garage, just in time for Christmas! Thank you Santa!
You will now notice that above some of the parking spots, there are these little gadgets, with lights on them. When a car is parked there, they are red. When a parking bay is open, the lights go green. I’m guessing this is so that you can see from far away when a parking bay is open.
It’s kind of handy I suppose. In a “We don’t really need this but it is fun” sort of way. In the same way that we don’t really need to be connected to the world 24 hours a day through SMS, e-mail and Facebook. But it is handy. I suppose.
It’s also a good way of “enhancing the parking experience” I’m hoping it is connected to a server at Cavendish Square, so when you actually arrive, it tells you what percentage of the parking is full.
Because on Saturday morning the parking is chaos at Cavendish Square, and when it says “Parking is 300% full” I then know to turn the VR3 around and go home. Not that I shop on Saturdays. It’s all hypothetical. In fact my whole life seems hypothetical at the moment. “I wonder what would happen if…” or “I wonder what would have happened if…”
I wonder what would happen if I won the lottery last night? Mmmmm…interesting. In fact, just like the accused in court are innocent until proven guilty, I’m R5 million richer until proven otherwise, so if I only check my lottery tickets in two weeks, hypothetically speaking, I had R5 million in my account for two weeks. Now hypothetically speaking, if I only checked my tickets in a years time, I would have some good interest on that R5 million. I could then give the R5 million back to the lottery, and keep the interest. It’s not a bad money making scheme.
You know I’m just talking rubbish now.
But you’re still reading.
