A number of angry villagers say they are boycotting their local Waitrose - after a popular car park attendant was suspended from duties. Residents in Alderley Edge are up in arms about the suspension of Robert Shaw, known as Bob, who patrols the Waitrose car park in the Cheshire village.
It came after allegations that Bob had been "letting people park for free" on the pay-for car park just off the main London Road. Shoppers in the village have to pay a set fee of £1 for up to 90 minutes to use the supermarket car park, which is then discounted for anyone using the Waitrose store next to it.
Residents including Manchester United legend Willie Morgan and ex-Coronation Street star Charlie Lawson gathered for a demonstration outside Waitrose this week as part of the campaign to "Bring back Bob". They say he's "more than just a traffic warden" who looks after kids, dogs and even offers marriage advice to people parking and shopping at the supermarket.

The car park is operated by Britannia Parking, not by Waitrose, and it is Britannia who employ Mr Shaw. He was suspended earlier this month after eight years working full time patrolling the car park.
But a number of fuming villagers say they now won't shop in the Waitrose supermarket or park there until the issue with Bob is resolved. Over 120 people have signed a petition calling for his immediate reinstatement.
Gaynor Morgan has been leading the campaign to "Bring Back Bob" and says: "Bob is not just a car park attendant, he's a part of the community. He's a friend to people, the people here trust him so

Pine Hearts nears launch, NME sat down with Scottish developer Hyper Luminal Games to discuss the game’s accessibility support, themes of loss, and “Souls-like level design”.An isometric adventure game set in Pine Hearts Caravan Park, Pine Hearts follows protagonist Tyke as they fill out their hillwalking journal, solve puzzles, and reminisce on their childhood memories of the area.Speaking to NME, creative director Rob Madden shared that Pine Hearts was made following the loss of his father, who passed away from cancer in 2019.“I wanted to make a game about that experience, but it was important that the game told this story in a positive and hopeful way, and didn’t dwell too long on the actual component of loss,” shared Madden. “I think we’ve managed to strike a nice balance between those things in the game.”Besides Madden’s own experiences, Pine Hearts also draws on the likes of The Legend Of Zelda and FromSoftware‘s Dark Souls series for inspiration – the former for its puzzles, the latter for their interconnected areas and levels.
