Fat bottomed girls make the rocking world go round... or maybe they think it revolves around them.

That looks to be the most overcomplicated bay designation painting I've ever seen. Does it really need all of the cross hatchings?

This is what our neighbours consider reasonable parking. Ours is the white car, black car is neighbour parked next to it, red car is her dhead boyfriend. Behind the red car are two empty visitors spaces.

Didnt that appear the other day when you parked in an unmarked space and she told you it was here space, may have been a similar vid I saw?

Wow. Bigger man than I to not have let his tyres down or something.

Some woman used to do this in her Peugeot 1007 at one of my mates flats if she couldn't get her usual unreserved space. One night there were like 8 of us there and saw it so we just heave ho'd her car out of the way and into a bush.

Two for the price of one!!

Admittedly the Volvo is worse as its blocking the pavement, but the Polo has got "just abandoned" look perfect as well with the front wheel rammed into the kerb and the back nowhere near.

Tbf he normally parks slightly further back. It's her idiot friends normally that see her gate and park in front of it, without realising (or caring) they are blocking us in. Typical bad new build planning combined with entitled drivers.

Some masking tape and yellow line paint could put a yellow box in front of your car to make it more clear?

They would still park there as they are "only going to be a minute !"

Difficult to get the perspective here, perhaps.
Houses on the right, and their cars (or visitors’) are often parked in front of the houses.

It’s also a bus route.

Maybe the owner of the Punto (?) didn’t know either of these things and just randomly parked creating a slalom.

No pavement on the other side. Empty drive of the house she’s visiting.

Seemed genuinely shocked when challenged.

Annoys me less than those who abandon it where it stops and block the end space in a busy car park and especially annoying when it's a nice car.

Lots of extra cars today due to an event, apparently that means parking on a roundabout is OK.

Just wondering if it’s an offence, just saying does the HC say you can’t, not that I would.

I would have thought that any part of a roundabout would be considered as on a junction.

Two people jet washing their cars on the road.
They both have two car drives but always leave one car on the road and consider the road outside their house theirs.

(A few months ago one of these clowns prevented a bus leaving the uni campus by parking directly opposite a car already parked)


And a bonus one, opposite a junction.


Last one for today.
Stanwick Lakes. Car parked on the pedestrian crossing between visitor centre and car park. Loads of spaces available.
