Kerb Your Enthusiasm

I've spelled it the English way because it's an English story.

Some silly woman in Southport is surprised that she isn't allowed to mount the kerb and drive across the pavement.

Or, in American English:

Some dumb broad in a town you've never heard of is surprised that she ain't allowed to mount the curb and droive across the sidewalk.

"droive" was a typo that I decided to leave in because it sounds New Yorkish.

Anyway, here she is:
I nearly have sympathy for her because the kerb is so low that you could drive up it without damaging your suspension.
 
But she will still be damaging the pavement.
 
And she is an Audi driver.
 
The Liverpool Echo story is here but I wouldn't bother clicking on it because the advertising on there makes it just about unreadable.
 
All we are missing in this particular non-story is a picture of the local Conservative Councillor stood there pointing at it.
