Just going back to the station parking chat from a last page, I was at a recovery yard in Liverpool recently and there was a Passat covered in paint and with all windows smashed.
My first thought was "been caught cheating" but no, they explained it happens on a local rough estate where people leave cars to save on airport parking.
A few have been burnt out.
Apparently another favourite is they smash the windows and fill the car to the roof with contents of bins.
I know airport parking is expensive, but is it really worth the hassle of fannying around trying to find a street to park on? You've then got to get to the terminal, they aren't usually in walking distance, or even have a proper path to walk along, so you'd have to get a taxi anyway. So the saving is, what £50, maybe £100?
Your assuming the owner parked the car - some "we keep your keys" airport parking operators have "overflow parking" cars get stored at.

You could walk further inside the terminal than from the nearest housing to the terminal entrance.
Maybe, although less chance of having to walk along a motorway or across a runway in the terminal

Our local Sainsbury’s and my parents village got used for cruise parking

Random roads would have say 6 cars parked bumper to bumper for a few weeks then gone

No one parks on th roads as all drives are big.

It really got the tongues wagging and fingers pointing.

The outfit doing it ran it for an entire summer, good scam really

Definitely and Karen was triggered. I'm sure Lee and Dean are "Cheeky lads" and "Aspiring footballers". Good work, Karl!

Yeah and there are some deleted replies there too, I wonder if Karl doubled down to defend his position (I really hope so) hehe

Hmm.. that could work.. so unable to be understood? And by misspelling the word they themselves become inconstruable? Possibly parrot worthy, possibly local group nutter laugh

It's a code, they want to be acclaimed as the most inconstruable person but are not quite egocentric enough to just come out and say so. scratchchin
