C'mon

The current reg plates in Londonderry are WUI, the next issue will be XUI, so working backwards, you’ll eventually come to OUI.
This is from a Google search, which turned up speedyreg.co.uk, the info was on that.

A prerequisite for membership in this gym appears to be the inability to park within the lines, but this person is really showing off.

It's one thing driving into a space in a hurry and leaving the car like that, but taking the time to reverse in, and still ending up with a car that badly parked is just...

That doesn’t look terribly bad, but it reminded me of a few years back now, when I turned up at my son’s house in Bielefeld, NRW, with a rental car I’d got at Hannover airport.
He said, “Did everyone give you a wide berth on the autobahn?”
“Not that I recall, why?”
“See that M at the beginning of the plate, it means that it’s registered in Munich, everyone knows that they drive like nutters down there.”

This person should get an award for their parking.... complete w@nkspangle. Leighton Buzzard multi storey which by design has huge spaces anyway

I tried to see a reason that might have forced him to park that way, other vehicles there etc., but I couldn’t see one, then my younger son, who served in N.I. in the eighties, looked over my shoulder, and said, “I think that’s a Northern Ireland plate dad, maybe Londonderry, no wonder we make jokes about them.”
I did my best to put him straight, saying, “You wouldn’t make jokes about black people, so it’s not cool to generalise about the Irish”, but it’s such an outrageous bit of parking really, I’d like to have seen it clamped, and not released until he’d paid the max revenue that the CP lost by him taking up two spots.

Doubt that is the original plate. More likely an English person has bought that plate and uses it as a substitute for a sense of humour. :P

Oui! Soixante neuf etc.

You mean apart from completely blocking the pavement ?

Busted, it looked not so bad at first glance, but when I enlarged it, I saw what you mean, sorry.

I don't know, aren't car parks a necessary evil?

Agreed, but acres of Tarmac and those awful white lines and yellow cross-hatched areas. Dreadful.

I assume a disgruntled pedestrian has already thought fit to convey to driver what they think of their parking by ripping the door mirror forwards of its natural sitting position.
