This throbber blocked the pavement all day Saturday and Sunday whilst presumably working on the refurb
of the fancy car dealer showroom .



Yes .pedestrians can walk in the layby lane that the car should be in ,but why should they ?
That's a fair point!

Must be Romans at Burgh Heath having a huge extension after taking over the Ford dealership that was next door. They seem to be doing well in an uncertain financial climate.
You're half correct .
They did indeed buy the empty Ford dealer premises ,they had that totally rebuilt to suit their requirements , they moved in and then tore apart the old small showroom for a total refurb . I wondered whether they were pulling it down at one point but they have changed the frontage a little and have yet to resurface the outside area . Showroom won't be any bigger than before .

Passive aggressive sign near Bristol Airport

I wonder what sort of 'sad compo' face the resident will be pulling for the local press when they come out one morning to find their car covered in paint stripper, perhaps coincidently a few weeks after a car had mysteriously been damaged when parked outside their house and next to their warning sign.
That might be why she put the sign up - as a warning to others.

But you are right about here being some right morons out there who would assume it was the home owner damaged their car.

Less polite but parking here entirely blocks access and if you need a sign to tell you so...
I can imaging someone using the sign as an excuse for parking their deliberately - because ‘you can’t legally stop me’.

And then ng in a similar spot in another town, for the same reason.

Just so selfish.

Exactly.

Talking of enigma and military term I will throw this in knowing only a few may understand, word is KL7, don’t ask.

Little rant, those who abandon the cars like this, saw them park up and foxtrot oscar, another gap further along combined would allow another two cars to park.




And petrol cars who park in the one bay marked for EV’s only. Two of them, one when I parked and one when I came back.

That's pretty poor signage to be fair. No painted signs on the tarmac, a charger that looks like it could be some form of parking meter and (as far as i can see) a small sign stuck on a lamppost indicating the bay is for electric vehicles only.

Poor parking....yes....but am I surprised and outraged?.....meh

I thought the same so had a googly. You can just about see it's marked as such on the floor .. or at least it was last year when Google captured the scene.

Do they limit the time that each car is allowed to park in a charging bay?

Otherwise, how do they stop a Electric car from overstaying the space and depriving other people who need a charge.

You have to park as well so that would limit it, but some will abuse it, then again they are not fast charging stations so probably can’t finish charging during your stay.

Sorry but I actually think this is really funny biggrin
My favourite is in the US where the bays are marked as "green vehicles only" and watching someone with a green coloured car park there. laugh

It's as funny as blocking access to fuel pumps would be.

Hmmmmmm just checked, it has been resurfaced and the EV logo hasn’t been repainted on the ground, so guess easy to miss, but as for the EV driver occupying one having his lunch is a piss take, unlikely he is a visitor.

Council have been told. Probably be about six months before anything is done…….

You must have a very low bar for humour. For me there’s a massive middle ground between “not prosecuted” and “funny” that covers the vast majority of situations.
