I see motorbikes have changed since the last time I saw one.



I'll add that there were plenty of spaces there.

The space under the front wheels looks like a car space, or is it?

Sadly I didn't get a chance to get a picture, as I was leaving the car park at the time, but it would appear that being an employee of England Rugby as backroom staff, physio, etc, and having a fully liveried up vehicle, gives you the entitlement to park however you like rolleyes

Earlier this afternoon at Waitrose in Bagshot there were 2 x white L200's, that had been fully liveried up with England Rugby graphics, associated sponsor decals, etc and the 2 female drivers had obviously popped down the road from their usual training camp at Pennyhill Park to pick up some shopping, etc. One of them evidently felt it acceptable to dump themselves in such a way that they occupied 4 spaces, whilst the other one decided to occupy one of the disabled / parent & child spaces at the front of store banghead
I'm sure if you dropped a polite email to England Rugby they would have a word with whoever was driving them. It's quite poor publicity parking badly in a liveried vehicle.

For some reason that Waitrose is a den of poor parking, I've seen some chavs parked sideways across 2/3 disabled bays as close to the doors as possible while one of them "popped" in for their shopping, another SUV parked as close to the doors as possible in a regular space, but only about 2/3rds in the space (see one of my previous posts on this thread) so as the carpark filled up, you couldn't see around it to pull out - genius.

They are the hard-core ignorant who understand nothing else. Any damage incurred while parked like a is self-inflicted as far as I'm concerned.

So you would purposely damage someone's property? Wow. Bad parking is one thing, being a vandal is something completely different.

My Neighbour - Doh!



Except he's a doctor, and works late shifts, and he's probably tired when he gets home.

Also, he's French so he now has no job security, no guaranteed right to residency, so he and his family may have to move back to France in two years time.

That's no way to live in a western democracy when you have a five year old child. Thank you Boris, Gove, and all those wonderful 'newspaper' proprietors, not to mention Putin.

Thankfully my neighbour could not be more understanding about my use of the parking space as a workshop, I am very fortunate

No whoever it was, was 'considerate' enough to only take up bike spaces, not car ones.

Consequences: if there were more of them perhaps there would be less tttish parking.

I'm with Slim.

I'm not defending bad parking, but vandals are scum.

Think of it as more like the possible consequences of acting like an ignorant, selfish, entitled , than mindless vandalism.

I see 1 person parking like an ignorant, selfish idiot. And another person who is a vandal.

Mindless vandals, yes. A bit more (justified) vigilante justice I think would reduce others tttish behaviour quite considerably.

Until something happens to that muppet they're going to continue parking like that aren't they?

I'd prefer not to live in a society where people are inconsiderate or are vandals.

Stuff.
Full marks for managing to shoe horn in the words "no job security", "western democracy", "Boris", "Gove" and "Putin" - all because your neighbour parked 5 inches over a line, that's some going that is.

Shame he couldn't add "hard working families" into the mix and turn it into a manifesto.

I'd like to live in a society where people had the slightest bit of consideration for others and if they don't, they soon get taught.

The absolute spacktard of a Mini driver (in the very loosest sense of the word), who left their vehicle on the street I live on today. And yes, the minibus in one of the photos is the Dial-A-Ride bus for OAPs and the disabled.

You, Mr/Mrs/Ms Mini owner, are an absolute, dribbling incompetent selfish idiot of the worst order.
