OR, perhaps about the whitevan men, who park illegally on Yellows/double yellows and deny those with a right under the blue badge scheme to park in places as defined in the badge regulations because the badge holders have mobility/serious mobility problems.

White van men can stop on double yellows for loading, for up to 40 minutes.
ETA 40, not 20 minutes.

The only people I've had problems with are supermarket delivery drivers delivering to neighbours. They don't seem bothered about blocking anyone's access and only a moan to the retailer seems to stop it. The drivers themselves are solely interested in making their job as easy as possible.
Who cares if it's a pizza delivery taking up all of two minutes max, but when it's a fortnight's worth of shopping taking ten minutes to unload, it takes the piss.

Do you have a photo of the road?
Sorry only on my phone and not techy enough to be able to do a google link, other than it is at 51 09 47 71N 3 19 17 21 W nose to the t of north st, as you will see if he had gone back 20 ft he could have stayed as wide or he could have parked 2 ft closer the wall.I don't have an issue with him parking, preferably a bit more considerately, I have an issue with him having a hair trigger temper and driving a truck.

It's not illegal for a van or any vehicle to load on a single or double yellow line that a disabled badge holder is also entitled to park on

Whenever I get a driver block me in (get it a lot through work, often get lorries park across my nose and go into the office) I can wait up to 15 minutes, chill out. If you're gonna be that late, ring boss and explain and take a picture, including a clock of some sorts. They have jobs to do, just like most of us, so pipe down and let them do it rather than chew their balls off when they stop to deliver.
Couriers can be a nightmare I agree, but some try to park half considerately, and lorry drivers have limited options, especially if the roads are small they need to stop somewhere, and I don't think they'll enjoy lugging 100+kegs up the road and any associated hills.
