In a restaurant car park in Kent, driver got out, I said,
“Could you move over a bit, to give someone else a chance?”
Driver said, “Not my problem.”

Ahh the Citroen Xsara Picasso-have always said twas the choice of the professional.
No more questions m'lud.

Good skills. Thats a badly laid out carpark though as that Focus is parked within its space.

Does this qualify? Mine is the Kia at the end of a row and I'd parked neatly in the space. Came back and this moron had parked that close - you can just about see how much space there is in front of him. Just no need...

Just to note, when I arrived there was masses of space behind my car and all the cars were parked up in the marked bays - I'll be honest though, I usually park much further forward in the bay if I'm at the end as I was. Mea Culpa.

The gates are new as the site was recently sold and divided up, hence the small space at the back. Can easy get three cars in the gap though if people park sensibly.

think it took about 5 shunts to get it in, the Jazz has got a really good turning circle. 4 way temporary traffic lights on the road outside our place meant I really didn't want to have to park over the road!

Council recently painted double yellows by the newly refurbished park near to me as it was preventing large vehicles using the road and so now people just park on the pavement instead, notice it's always the same type of cars.

Average family cars?

I can't understand why the council never have a warden around issuing tickets. They could make an absolute fortune at school run time. Would help with their apparent lack of funding.

I used to find school run drivers/ignorant parkers the world’s worst when I was driving a taxi.
Once, they were double and haphazardly parked by Queen’s Gate School, SW7, and I couldn’t get past them.
Guy in the back was screaming at me to sound the horn, but experience had taught me that they’d ignore that, and faff around longer, to show their contempt.
In the end, he got out and tore this bint a new one, she faced him, hands on hips, and gave him a string of Anglo-Saxon invective, that a docker would have been proud of.
He got back in, ashen faced, and said, “How do you put up with these prats?”
I said, “What can I do, other than watch the meter tick up another 20p?”

Cos taxis always park well and never just stop where they feel like ha ha ha ha

Obviously the drivers who parked on the pavement are morons who deserve to have their cars keyed for their stupidity, but parking on the pavement doesn't mean the yellow lines don't apply to them. So the council need to get their finger out and send out someone to ticket them.

I think it just goes to show how utterly thick and self entitled a lot of people seem to think they are nowadays.

Same as the egit who parked alongside the dropped kerb (for mobility scooters etc), and DYL's to go to the post office as that is the closest point to it, empty spaces 10 metres further up, twunts.

I did tell one about it, but got no response, brain dead, another one was parked when a guy in his mobility scooter couldnt cross, I asked in the shop who was parked outside, guy in que (FB) said "Its mine", I said "Well your are blocking a dropped kerb and a bloke cant cross the road on his mobility scooter", his response, "Ill be out in a minute", he is about 6th in the queu.

Haha true but they’re brilliant little things for filling up with kids and mountain bike stuff




I also have an e39 530i if that means I can keep my PH membership card :-D

It may not be parked very well, but it is still parked in the space and not over any line to technically, its ok. What if the car was a long one that fills the whole space.

I drive a Jazz. But I won't get banned because I'm on here under an assumed name.
