Is that Stanley Kubrick re-incarnated ?

That must be re-incarnated, Stanley Kubricked.

Dunno, I'm looking at the boots

purveyors of the local greasy spoon and their acceptable standards for parking their sign written company vehicles;






There is also a bus depot on the road behind where this van has parked, so not sure how the driver is expecting them to exit this junction.

And just down the road for the van;

tbf if the pickup van parked 'properly' he'd block the road off so you can sorta understand why.

Considering every other car has its bumper over the pavement, it looks like bad carpark design imo

The silver transit van he parked next too managed, I could maybe understand if he backed it in, but front wheels up and over the footpath ?

Not a car park, but a dead end service road, when the yellow lines are only in force from 6am - 7am each morning;

not being funny (or trying to defend the pick up van) but it's significantly larger than the tranny, trying to compare the two isn't fair.

Infront of the blue DS3 is an earlier model Lancia Ypsilon, never sold in the UK. Probably on Italian plates, the UK standard of parking must have dropped if the Italians now park better or "more legally" than us...

Nice parking from the Audi here

Strange parking, with the small Mercedes half on the lower surface and half on the higher surface

I'd say the idiot in the larger Mercedes is (probably) the worst offender in that photo - one of my real pet hates is people who leave a smaller than car gap at the end of a bay like that.

There's a small chance there was a smaller car there originally, or maybe a couple of motorbikes - but you're most likely to find that just didn't give a fk and parked inconsiderately.

Agreed, that boils my piss too, and those like the audi who park in a bay that doesn't exist and then make (usually an exit or narrow way) even narrower. s.

Just seen this elsewhere. Local press

You can say that from seeing 1 picture?

Well, the gap at the end of that bay is very small - yes, it's possible that a city car was parked there (those little Skoda / Seat / VW things, for example) - but mostly that situation occurs because people don't think before abandoning their car.

I was commenting on it to the wife on NYE - we went to the 'Nos Galan' road race in Mountain Ash (S. Wales valleys) - and parked in marked bays along the main road. Every bay was operating at less than capacity because the people on the ends had left a half car length gap. Really winds me up.

(The Audi is in another photo...)

No I say it because I have experienced it. frequently.
