All three parked, unloading.

So were they parked, or unloading? Two very different things.

So long as there are no loading restrictions then they are free to do what they want. And even if there are you cant blame them, delivery drivers don't have time to be parking miles away from where they are delivering to, thanks to stupidly tight schedules. Do you get annoyed when the bin men block the road in their refuse truck too?

Yes, never easy, but completely blocking the footpath isn't necessary.

Annoyed? Nope smile

With only 4x more than likely.

Truth be told, there's cars with more than 4x reverse gears.

A lot of bike engined cars have a reverse box, that allows all the forward gears to be used in reverse.

Lots of people making them too.

This one was started in reverse, being a two stroke engine, and any forward gear resulted in it reversing.

Well you at least went to the effort of actually posting a picture rather than just lazily posting a link to FB. wink

Digressing, but reminds of my service days, my pal said to his boss,

"If I called you a sir, you would put me on defaulters"

"Correct"

"But I can think it"

If you did, you'd probably know how to spell it correctly.

Not surprising that he was a bit aggressive.
