Clearly, Willie Hobson has built the Disc’s equivalent of a multi-storey car park.

This becomes especially significant (as confirmed by Terry himself) in light of the fact the original Watergate Deep Throat used to deliver his information in a… multi-storey car park.

Also, Thomas Hobson (1544–1630) was the Cambridge stable manager after whom the concept of “Hobson’s choice” (the appearance of giving someone a choice, when actually there is but a single option) was named. People renting horses from him would be shown all available horses, but in the end they always had to take the one nearest the door, so that all his horses were exercised.
