There is an 'appy land....

The antiquated i-phone 3 might well have used the map function to navigate for Noah, but it will do me a while yet!

This screen shows my most used and best App. "Ringgo" allows me to pay for my parking anywhere in Edinburgh within 20 seconds. No huddling under an umbrella while looking for change that doesn't happen to be there. Instead, one key stroke, adjust one slider, enter three digits, and it is all done. The kind people at Ringgo will send you a text to confirm you have paid, and then another text ten minutes before your time is up. But you are not ready to leave? No problem, you can extend the parking time from wherever you happen to be (provided you haven't exceeded the maximum permitted span).

Your registration number appears on the Parking Attendant's mobile to tell him to leave you in peace. Who says that modern advances don't make life easier?
