About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

Crisis!
The greatest of all possibly disasters than can befall the staff of a municipal multi-story car park occurred today and I, dear reader, played a critical role in dealing with it. At a little after 1800h the kettle broke. And … Continue reading

Car Park Teens
One of the most thrilling responsibilities of my job as car park attendant (weekends only) is checking the stairwells. I’m checking these for blockages, specifically in the form of teenagers who will use this space for “hanging out” away from … Continue reading
