How quick and clever is that, far more efficient than the contraption that we have with a jib type thjng holding a frame where each corner has to be positioned under a wheel and the jib then lifts it precariously onto the back of the truck.

Now that's ingenious.

The van driver who parked just before the apex of this band today so he could load without walking one step further than necessary. Then a lorry needed to get past....

If he'd moved back about 3m there wouldn't have been a queue back down the road.

From FixMyStreet today: Observed at 8.45am parked almost opposite Trafalgar Junior School entrance in Third Cross Road, Twickenham. Car completely blocking pavement; children and parents with pushchairs & buggies forced on to very busy road to get by. There is no pavement parking along this stretch of the road!

I'm far too important to actually drive further than the entrance to the Aldi car park so I'll just plonk my car here:

MR BRO2WNE comes into town and parks just where he likes.
Disabled bays, mother and child,
and the ones reserved for bikes.

Look carefully at the BMW and youll see that the driver has managed to straddle the raised kerb that is meant to protect the tree
