There is always one…..

Which one? The one parked on the grass, or the one parked in a hedge?

Lol comment of the day right here!

I didn’t even see the one in the hedge!

Reminded me of this, I had a meeting today with Doncaster council about some work they wanted doing on a couple of houses, I got the address up on google street view:

You have to wonder at times.

Chipping Norton…very few charging points in the area. When you find one you have this entitled me, me, me Audi c***s**cket p**ck parked in one of the bays.

Just why? What goes through people’s minds. Are they just thick, hard of thinking or is it they couldn’t give a shi*e!! Grrrrrrr!!

Can you get 10m charging cables? I’d have one and just block the fker in.

Ive seen some one do just that to two cars who where both parked in the ev charging bays at Ikea Lakeside, the ev driver caused havoc as he parked directly behind both piston powered cars blocking them in, he was also parked in the road way.. The driver who went back to his piston powered car had the right hump as he was going no where. The ev driver was sat a few tables from us enjoying his plate of meatballs and mash and was in no rush to move.

Exactly the right thing to do!

Quick question because I cant find the answer (and as I post here often thought to use this forum).

Quick answer, how do you use the “reveal” thing in a post, ie what do you type in for it to work? Thanks one and all.

Indeed. They wouldn't like an EV blocking the pumps.

Click on Formatting Help above, it's the spoiler function you need.

Then you can do this

Saw this pull up into the electric charging spots at out local Tesco, it's about a electric powered as you can get. She pulled it in quickly to stop someone in an actual EV from getting the spot. Note w@nk£r spaced reg plate too.

Cradley ?

Thanks guys for revealer, back to the thread

[SunsetZed]

Parked on the kerb unnecessarily and the owner is now not going to be able to move it until they've taxed it!

Probably one for the high mileage thread too as it had racked up 94k at the time of it's first MOT.

Local Asda around 10pm this evening so loads of space in the car park but this chap couldn’t be bothered.

I think this thread in SP&L counts

These threads are done to death I know… but I’ve never had one before. Just come back from working abroad to this -



Annoyingly to get the reduced rate I need to pay it tonight I think. Am I going to have to suck it up and pay or is it one for the bin, filing cabinet for now along with all the subsequent letters I’m no doubt going to receive?

Logged in to their site for more evidence - was parked there for 7 minutes whilst I cut through a gap for a quick Tesco visit. Yes it’s double yellows I know, but it’s an extremely quiet and small dead end industrial estate, plus this has happened at 2pm on a Saturday when the place is a ghost town!

This driver couldn't even parallel park it!
Abandoned it on double yellow lines.
Spat their dummy out I suspect!
Merry Christmas!

Parked over the lines, absolutely no excuses for this.

Obviously the front of his car was on fire and he was in a hurry to get out of it.

[Seasonal Hero]

Apparently this is classed as parking

West Suffolk Hospital car park. It’s busy at the best of times. This doesn’t help.

the problem with these is that he might be partek there cos the previous person next to him was also over the line and effectively forced him to and they have now left. I give the benefit of the doubt in these, unless I see em do it.

He is just a big a wker as the guy in the charging bay, if he felt his sense of self importance made it ok to block the road way.

It’s also a shame people like him fail to find the same set of balls and apply an equal sense of outrage to someone blocking a disabled bay or parking across two space when the car park is full.

But why not park in the space on his right?

I was 45 mins into this mornings shift, I'm drenched, 2 car parks had machines the worked for me and not the public! 1 car park with an idiot that thinks it's perfectly OK to stop dead in the middle of a car park to use his phone. I walk onto the next car park to be confronted by this little gem


I wanna go home
