That could be interpreted as you are encouraging people to park as aforesaid. I very much hope that isn't the case.
If you are then your credibility just went down the toilet.

Oh no, how will I cope??

Quite revealing that you chose to comment only on the final sentence with a glib throwaway remark yet failed to confirm where you stand on the rest.
Likewise that you chose to snip my post in order to avoid having to answer my point about criticising without providing any practical solution/s to the underlying problem.

You can interpret it as you wish - It's obvious where I stand on the parking - I've mentioned it a few (dozen) times on the thread already, but if you can't be bothered to read it...

Oh, I don't think anyone on PH needs any interpretation help in their impression of you. I expect to hear your name come up quite often in the future when people discuss 'that sort' etc..

I'll try not to lose any sleep over it

What if all the cars on one side parked up first, with nobody on the other side. You go off on your walk and come back to the carnage in the pictures. Not exactly fair (not that damaging any of the cars is fair) to those that parked sensibly first.
Tough choice for the farmer but I don't think deliberate criminal damage was the answer.

If this bad parking has been happening for a while, I can understand the farmers frustration. As one comment points out there was just enough room to get a car through. What about emergency services, did the parkers not think of them?. I can understand the lure of a walk in the countryside, but people must understand that the countryside is also a place of work for many people, and if livestock is involved it often needs to be moved at a set time. We have similar problem near to where we live, on Sundays hoards of people clad in Lycra block the local lanes to go push bike racing, often blocking the road for 15 minutes or so, but we do at least know they will clear the road eventually. The farmer did not have the luxury of knowing when he could get through. I do feel sorry for the car owners, not a pleasant surprise to see your pride and joy damaged.

Tractor driver needs to get a grip - I can see a nice grass field behind the black BMW with only a small wire fence blocking the way for a tractor to drive on the grass field....

Any tractor driver with half a brain would have seen this to be a far less costly and more considerate solution, it's not like the car drivers purposefully blocked the road for all vehicles.....

Which one of the cars was yours?

The bad Parkers did not have one brain cell between them.

The walkers intended no malice, can't say the same for the tractor driver.....they had an alternative which they chose not to use, they could have called the police, strange that he/she didn't, can only assume they knew they were in the wrong.

None of them - but I have previously returned to my car to find it damaged by vandals, not a nice experience and IMHO this is the same, intentional damaged that was needless.

Second post and already in trouble with the Spelling Police and apostrophe watchdog.

Some silly people will be along shortly to tell you that there was absolutely no alternative

The Parkers were driving without consideration for other road users.

Love it - how exactly were they driving when their vehicles were stationary with engines off - LOL

It’s a bot. Don’t bother replying.

Sometimes one comes on a thread like this, read the first page, read the final one, and have sufficient collateral to know exactly what the middle 28 or so contain

Thanks for this Lord M, now easily confirmed from google maps, tractor could/should have taken to the field on the left, gate at either end of the road - no excuse for causing criminal damage however frustrated he was by the badly parked cars!

Some equally silly people keep posting without once setting out what their suggestion for alternatives as to course of action, despite being asked several times. My conclusion that all they are capable of is empty bluster.
