Good, I've done similar at work in our cleary signposted customer parking area to people who aren't visiting us, I don't block them in but I make it very difficult for them to a) get in their car and b) get their car out.
Annoyied at myself for clicking and reading that, but I did. The article repeatably says that the old chap was left shivering in the cold for hours. Can someone explain to me why he was left shivering when he could have either sat in the surgery or sat in his own car with the engine running? Pure Daily Mail rubbish.Good, I've done similar at work in our cleary signposted customer parking area to people who aren't visiting us, I don't block them in but I make it very difficult for them to a) get in their car and b) get their car out.
- The car seems to be currently without a valid MoT.
- Is it not illegal to block in cars in this way, since the change in clamping legislation?

I read about this case in the Evening Standard on my commute home this week and noticed that the news hacks decided the old chap's car was a Toyota, which was repeated in the article at least twice. Just looking at the photo makes it blatantly obvious that it's a Honda. This sort of stuff winds me up! Anyone else get annoyed by that too? Nope, just me ok.
Or when they give numbers and stats which are just plain wrong. Recently the Daily Mail spoke of someone with a mark 1 Audi TT "worth £50k"...Oliverrun said:

The minibus belongs to the council, it's a council car park, presumably that's the same as diplomatic immunity?

The leisure centre car park. Tight space to get in that one, would be better parking in the spaces along the access path or the large spaces by the disabled ones for 'car sharing'. The minibus belongs to the council, it's a council car park, presumably that's the same as diplomatic immunity?
Nothing new but just keeping my hand in. Another VIP driver.
May be they think Pick up Point means "Parking for Pricks.
The Audi was there quite a time. When we shop, we have three full plastic boxes, so I load the boot there and leave the trolly with the others, so I end up double parking to load the boot, which of course causes a bottle neck on occasions.

Trolley and boxes to your already parked car?May be they think Pick up Point means "Parking for Pricks.

Very oddWhy not take the trolley to the car instead of getting the car and taking it to the pick up point?!
But that aside, I have a couple of spaces I generally back into to protect one side of my car from others, but the rear is up tight to bushes. So it's just as easy to have the OH wait with the shopping at the pick up point whilst I get the car.

What's a pick up point for?. Whatever you choose to do, it doesnt excuse these "I will just abandon my car at the pick up point, why should I use the car park" brigade.

Drive straight in, protect the other side...But that aside, I have a couple of spaces I generally back into to protect one side of my car from others, but the rear is up tight to bushes. So it's just as easy to have the OH wait with the shopping at the pick up point whilst I get the car.
