Champion parking by the lady in the red car who squeezed in and out. Proves the theory of needing a car to line up against instead of using the lines.

Is that Aldi in Middleton?

I've only been twice but each time some 'tard has parked like that in those spaces, the last time I was using one of them myself and came back to fine a child-less hog beast wandering away from her car that was parked into the side of mine.

Is that some kind of record? 3 cars which seem to have been parked by one-armed one-eyed gibbons and even the blue Focus is borderline....

Unless I'm buying a small shop, a supermarket is one place where I never reverse park just so I can access the boot with a laden trolley.

It is, so the one-eyed gibbons comment below might be accurate I rarely use this one but if I do I always park at the far end by the loading bay. Hardly anybody wants to walk that extra few metres.

Agreed unless it's one of those with the walkway between parking rows, they're the best design.

Think we have thrashed that one to death before, so won't linger on that one.

Where?

[irocfan]

under-cover I'm thinking.... hope he's not a PHer though lol

Yeah, as irocfan posted, it's on the left, just above the Defender in the pic, with a cover chucked over it.

It's a shame my mate didn't get a pic of it, but earlier in the year they brought home the company flat bed and parked that on the opposite side of the road instead of the van. Nearly took the lamp post out whilst parking it as well.

When I was over at his at the weekend I had a look at the pavement and I reckon if they keep parking the way they are on the pavement down the side of the house across the road, they could have the Highways Agency / Council chasing them as the pavement is starting to show reasonable signs of sinkage from the weight and a trough line develops when it rains too. Also noticed that one or two of the kerbs they bang the vehicles up and down on, are showing noticeable signs of damage and cracking apart as well as being a bit loose.

Seems quite thoughtful of the pickup driver - allows room for him to open the door without interfering with the Porsche.

Now you are being kind, he has just swung into that space, and said "Sod it, that will do", as he inches his belly out of his seat"

Why not a chat with the council about the damge they are causing.

[noell35]

I was just watching pound shop wars and I was surprised to see that the CEO of poundworld chose to park in the disabled bay at work. Seemed like a nice guy up to that point.

I think he probably will be later this year if it continues. From what I gather I don't think the owners of the house that the vehicles are regularly parked alongside is too happy either.
