Car park for women only

[BayTheMoon]

A council in China has opened a shopping mall car park for women only.
The car park is done up in pastel colours and each space is about a metre wider than the norm to cater for "women's different sense of distance".
Any chance Lambeth council (or similar) has latched onto this yet?

Personally I feel a bit insulted by this idea but then I can park, however it is apparently very successful in China!

I think it's a great idea - I'll know which to avoid.

Amen to that idea!

That clip is entitled 'bad parking', not sure I saw anyone park.

Which bit is successful?

1. That they can park at all?
2. That they can park in huge spaces?
3. That they can park in pink spaces?

The Croatians did it a while back:

As you can probably imagine, that went down like a knackered lift with the women too.

No idea but the scheme has been well recieved and very popular according to a report.

A report from China, saying something they introduced was well recieved and very popular? Must be true.
