try Wickford Station c/p when there's a little more than a dusting of snow... actually to be fair I suspect a lot of c/p's have the same level of fkwittery

Are there no drive through ATMs?

Seen loads in the USA and Drive through Banks, they had them back in the 70s overthere, but I have never seen any here

In Oz, they have drive through off licenses - What could go wrong?!
(note: they always put the drink in the boot, not in your hand)

MetroBank have at least one drive through banking. Works well.

So you did not have your mobile phone on you then? (they come with cameras now)

I have one of these...



...and even when the lens isn't covered in pocket fluff, and the lens protector isn't scratched and dirty, it's strictly 'full sun' only, I'm afraid. Taking a picture at 0730hrs in the grey and murky rain is simply a non starter. I only carry a (pay as you go) mobile in case of emergency, and very rarely use it, so I have no interest in a modern alternative...

Think they have one of those on display in the Science Museum

I can drive well honestly! I apply a lot of offensive and defensive driving techniques when on the road, just when it comes to parallel parking I cannot seem to do it to save my life!

Managed to completely scruff all 4 bbs ch motorsport alloys.. whooops.

It appears that Morrisons need to make the parent/child parking bays a little wider.

Interesting interpretation of 'between the lines' today in Basingstoke...



...to be fair, it wasn't ever going to inconvenience anyone, as there isn't a space on the left of the picture, and it made putting my car in the space next to it an easier decision, but dude, it's waaaaay out of the lines!

FFS. At least park straight if you are going to take up two spaces.

If only two blue badge holders were around, one to reverse in on the left and drive in on the right...

That is just totally inexcusable. Arrogance and incompetence in equal measure it would seem - or is it just the total arrogance which sadly all too often seems to be a trait of the Range Rover driver?

I know people don't want to annoy their customers, but I do wish owners of businesses would police their car parks a bit more.

I agree. They clearly don't mind if their disabled customers are annoyed though.

Not so much bad parking as such, but just for info. In the papers today is a Merc which has been parked in the bowels of a multi story car park in Birmingham for 3 years.

To date it has racked up £14,235 in parking fees.

They have failed to trace the owner, so they have contacted the local authority to remove it, any spares anyone.
