Ha now we see it, yes seems like a self centered member of the “Do you know who I am” brigade”. Not bothered about a fine as long as they don’t have to walk to far

They're really keen on a certain Unix text editor too...I've heard people get surprisingly (and bemusingly) passionate about it before, never thought it would result in a very expensive personal plate though.
(Unless it's someone who believes that no. 7 is lucky of course)

More likely in the too much money to give a st brigade
Spot on, a bloke used to park his roller on double yellows in Glasgow knowing it was too heavy to lift, and happily paid the daily fine.t brigade Was it an urban myth or truth back in the 60's when a roller was about to reverse park, a mini zipped in first and the young cocky driver jumped out and said to the elderly driver of the roller "When your young and have a mini you can do that". the driver of the roller just smiled, and reversed into the mini a few times and said "When your elderly and rich you can do that". story says he bought the young driver a new mini.
Probably a myth but I like it.
Spotted yesterday on a walk through town, there was some kind of cheerleading event on at the local leisure centre so the car park there was full - people therefore decided to go over the pavement and park on the grass that was still very wet from the snow a couple of days ago...
They're parked where I've crudely marked it in white dots, it was a Sunday so fairly quiet in town and there might be a fairly useful alternative for parking needs not too far away...
The building on the bottom-left of the image above is the police station.

Up in Aberdeen the council spent thousands revamping our local park, badly designing the car park so on the one way road through the park where you are allowed to park in outlined bays they only designed the width of the road to allow cars to park on one side only, so in the summer they park on the other side but up and over the kerb onto the grass which just destroys it with the rain we have.Very entertaining watching those who parked on the grass getting ticket a few years ago, but honestly the height of the kerb is about 10cm, some are just not bothered about their tyres at all.

Finding a parking space for each one proved onerous so he'd park his Rolls anywhere he liked until they upgraded their lifting gear and one day it got towed...
...So he went and bought a full sized long bed, crew cab American pickup and carried on.

Parking alignment itself is fine. But where their parked.
A passing place on the way to trevose lighthouse all to avoid paying a couple of quid for the NT car park...right next to the PP.
Beggars belief to save a couple of quid.Not causing a huge issue but PITA for some campers I watched trying to manovere. There used to be signs saying pp only on this private road, no longer.
Assume the porker is 100+k car (I have no knowledge of porkers as find them of no interest) and the 'lovely plate caps it all off...its clealry someone on here too you would think, why not pay the car park like everyone else please explain yourself!
Oh and special credit for the ferrari waking us all up for last 3 weeks in carbis bay. Facking tourists!
Edit.the parking alignmemt is cack too in hindsight plenty of room on thr right not to need to be on the bitumen.
