Just asking for someone to run over the N/S of it.
Absolute bell end.

It’s not even as if the road’s that narrow. Thick arse.

[ambuletz]

I've always had a rule if ever I'm going to park in a way that involves having to mount a curb ensure that there is ample space for a person with a pram or wheelchair to get by. enough for 1.5-2 people to walk side by side.

[thetapeworm]

It was right next to a house with an empty drive, loads of room on the road before and after it and as said above it's not even a narrow street.

It annoyed me more that it had a child's seat in it yet my own child had to stop scooting and be led around it into the road on a corner. Admittedly it's a fairly quiet road and we could have crossed earlier to mitigate the corner but it still...

[BigRusko]

Popped into the local Morrisons for a small shop and returned to find a white Insignia parked next to me;



I always try and park with empty spaces either side and today was no exception. It's not like the carpark was full (note empty spaces in background)
I still can't figure out how they got into the space in the first place.

I can only assume that the Insignia driver scrambled to the passenger side to exit. I don't understand some people!

Insignia

That's why.

Blocking the step free exit from the train station parked in a disabled bay, able people can get through the tiny gap but saw a female with pram having trouble luckily someone helped her up the steps.

Not sure why you would park like that with such disregard in a sign written vehicle.


Had a look at the registration out in interest and someone had already complained about them driving like a lunatic running them off the road

It looks like private land and being a fire and security van they may have parked there to keep that area free for a cherrypicker to arrive to work on a cctv a camera or something. I’ve done it myself with the landowners permission of course when working on cctv systems.

Can't see why a cherry picker would be needed and I don't think the space outside is private land.

I doubt they would be allowed to block the only step free access for station for a major London station without permission from network rail, another pic taken from Google Street view, link here

I don’t know the area so it was only a guess. That red coloured building may have a street system camera mounted high up on it and they’re going to access it with a picker when it arrives. I do it all the time on council and private land with permission of course but I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here. Like I said, just a guess because it’s a fire and security van.

There’s an ice cream van that comes around our way in winter time, in the dark. It can only be a weed wagon.

A friend of mine went to uni in Liverpool and had never heard of ice cream vans delivering drugs. Once in the middle of winter one turned up on his street. He decided to treat himself so went to get one. He was delighted that everyone else in the queue stood aside so they could sell him what was probably quite an old ice lolly and they could then get on with their business.

As someone who has been shielded from most of lifes seedier side; this was genuinely news to me too. I'd have rocked up with the kids in toe to get a 99 with flake each, probably getting a reputation as being a real bad ass in the process for taking the kids with me to get a fix.

Not being pedantic but a 99 already has a Flake in it...so technically a 99 WITH a Flake actually has 2 flakes..more commonly known as Bunny Ears....

No i don’t get out much...and when i do it’s always 2 sodding meters away...

When I were a lad the ice cream van that dealt sold at my school at dinner time had 99's which had two flakes and cost 99p. You could get a 69 with one flake and that cost 69p.

Different times...

I have to say i have NEVER been offered a 69...with or without a Flake....

69 with a Flake? - sounds like a description for a specific act on Pornhub or MFC

How many disabled spaces are in that car park? As the dhead in the Merc appears to be afflicted by the same disability, they're certainly over the line in any case.

Duplis.

Usual stuff, but why do so many have problems parking, it didnt need any reversing skills either, god forbid or cant even start to think where it may have ended, its not as if you reversing an 18 wheeler into a side road, which most manage with absolutely no problem, especially the American chic doing just that.

I'm not surprised, one has to have serious trouble with eyesight to drive that monstrosity. That's a Kodiaq I think? It's been a while since an European car manufacturer launched a car this fking ugly.

Think that's a Karoq, the smaller Q5-type rival. Kodiaq is the bigger Q7-type rival I think.

I will agree the Karoq is... challenging, to look at. I think the Kodiaq is actually nicer to look at. It's like a Karoq but actually is big enough to fit the lines/curves, whereas the Karoq just looks like it was designed, and then someone just changed the dimensions so the physical vehicle is smaller than the design intended it to be, making it seem... squashed?

ETA: Well - I was mistaken. Turns out this is a Kamiq, an even smaller Karoq/Kodiaq type SUV. I thought that picture was just a bad angle - nope, it seems like the Kamiq suffers from the same issue I perceive with the Karoq's design, but even worse!

Yes, you're right it's a Kamiq, I was thinking about Kamiq but wrote Kodiaq and who could blame me? All these names are frankly incredibly stupid. As stupid as the look of this car (or shall I say kar).
