Parked outside my boy's school.

I may have been a bit of a smartarse in parking my MX5 between the lines then hopping out rather than opening the door.... until I realised the behemoth of a Honda was LHD.

Honda driver, if you can't park it, leave it at home.

Who's crazy enough to be driving a Yankee-spec Honda Odyssey in Blighty?

No pic as it would've looked well dodgy had I stopped to take one but last night at my local Tesco, at the front of the store parked on the roadway parallel with the bollards, so not in a space, was a Rav 4 with engine running.
The really shocking part was that there was no driver but 3 toddlers left alone in the car. 2 were in car seats in the back strapped in but one was in the front passenger seat climbing all over it. I pointed it out to security just inside the store and they went to keep an eye on it.

So bad parking and Bad Parenting all in one hit there. Bravo Rav 4 driver.

Think I might have taken the keys out.

Probably someone involved with one of the myriad of US bases around this end of the country

As I read the article, the vehicle on the right hit the one on the left pushing it up the wall, some shunt that, surprised it mounted the wall though.

I wonder if there's steps there and the car has been pushed up the steps. The wall is far too high just to be able to shunt a car on to it.

You can see the wall on Street View: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0551338,1.151580...

No steps... must have gone through the wall and up the grass.

That is a bit dumb!

But also definitive proof that there is never a bunch of JCB Mafia types, wanting to recreate a scene from the Italian Job - when you actually need them.

The witness said "she had one foot out the car" when it happened? eh?
