No photos but the junction in my village.

Yesterday a taxi was parked where the "google" text is.
This evening a kid in a Ka was parked directly in front of the post office door.
A Discovery was parked where the Puma is, coming from the right to turn into the side road the Disco looked like it was waiting to go past the line of parked cars but no, driver was (presumably) in the takeaway while the passenger on the phone.

The road to the right is basically one lane due to parked cars

Why is it 'rude'? Does the scribbler even know what the word means?

Does this count as badly parked or merely poor understanding of signage.

Don't worry. Its not you that is a few sandwiches short. wink.

He is that guy who was very well known for putting up consecutive posts on the knob thread about other people pulling out/cutting him up at junctions and roundabout's.. and then on another thread lectured people contributors about their unnecessary over use of indicators.

Ergo... You are supposed to guess what he is thinking. laugh

Four in one today.

1/ Mini MPV thing parked facing oncoming traffic almost blocking the path less than ten feet from a junction.
2/ Black 206 facing oncoming traffic.
3/ White van man parked facing oncoming traffic on a blind bend.



4/ Renault thing parked across a junction on a blind bend because the passenger is too lazy to walk more than five censored feet to get fish and censored chips! rolleyes

Every time that shop is open the road is blocked by some selfish twunt.

I wonder if they'll let me put this...



...on their notice board. hehe

So, if I parked on his left I am sure he would swing past on his way out and hit my car (RS6), no room at all to squeeze in on the right....

Good job!

Why does that matter? The thread is about parking.

Extremely common (in all senses of the word).

Of course spelling and grammar matter, especially if it's for a public notice(yes I know it was a joke). However it would be nice if people would point out errors politely or make it obvious that it's light hearted so that we can all be happy to learn and not feel insulted.

This made me laugh.

Picture the scene; in a car park, with maybe 75% of the spaces empty. No cash point nearby, and no obvious reason for parking like this (apart from being a bit of a tt).

Orford Castle, Suffolk.

Thank you Grammar Police. Saved me from wasting a sheet of paper. I'm sure the tree appreciates it just as much.


Back on topic; blocking a junction, on a blind bend, on one of the busiest roads in the area should be "Driving Without Due Care and Attention". Bad enough trying to get a car through there I might ask the local Fire Service to swing by on their training night to make a point. wink
