Why do all these local news sites seem to be littered with adverts and pop ups to the point of them being completely unreadable?Hackney said:
In conversation with a moron just now while walking to school.
- why’d you park on the pavement?
- so I don’t block the road
- but it’s ok to block the pavement?
- it’s a big wide pavement
- it’s a big wide road
Don't really see anything wrong with this one. Both road/pavement large enough to accomodate a 50/50 approach.- why’d you park on the pavement?

Just returning from the shops. Could not get through, leant on the horn, after about 5 minutes, driver of the 4x4 came out and offered to move, but pointed out that the van was not there when she parked up.
As I was driving through, the van driver came out, and could see nothing wrong ??
Only going from this one photo (so might be missing something vital) I'd say they're both parked like knobs.As I was driving through, the van driver came out, and could see nothing wrong ??
Audi is parked in front of driveways/parking bays, when she should have parked where the van is now.
Van driver... Well with just the photo I'm going to hazard a guess that "that's where he ALWAYS parks" and gets upset when other road users exercise their equal right to park there. Hence why he thought it was fine as in his mind the Audi was in the wrong.

White van man just rocked up and parked without bothering to see if it was blocking the road, and could really not see an issue, but I think the language barrier may have been an issue.
He really didn’t understand that, if we needed any emergency services further down the road, we would have been stuffed.

Audi was as far as I know, there first.

A friend of mine and his partner popped along to the Diddly Squat Farm Shop yesterday whilst they were having a weekend away, the car park was bedlam.
Upon returning to the car, they were unable to get in, as cars were that tightly packed, so had to climb over from the passenger side.
Same when we went. I parked in the corner and when we came back there were cars parked behind us. Had to do a 20 point turn to get out.Upon returning to the car, they were unable to get in, as cars were that tightly packed, so had to climb over from the passenger side.

I also wonder if the owner just parks like that out of (bad) habit.

I see he has won a prize as well.He will no doubt be on SP&L later with an excuse story worthy of a first draft Hollywood script.
However, the huge plot holes won’t matter to to the usual suspects who have a sexual thing going for parking tickets, so they will once again all be jerking over their keyboards to help the driver get out of paying any fines for something like the above scenario.
I can already imagine them shouting ‘it’s an invoice’.

Yes, I did go in and have a look. I find all sorts of excuses to walk a bit further for my cardio exercise.
