And why worry if they are.
Whos worried? not me.

If this is a genuine incident and photographed in a public place where the reg plates are already
on display to all and sundry ,then i just dont get why anyone would feel it nessacery to take
the time to obscure the reg plates before posting the photo on a public forum
It was posted on FB by Leicestershire Fire Brigade.

Usual at ASDA today, old biddy, looked about 90, then again age is no barrier when it comes to crap parking.

Apologies for the crap picture but this Astra parked here (there was a car at the pump when he parked) got out and went into the petrol station shop to get some shopping. The petrol station was busy and this raised some eyebrows. The blue camper van on the left was broken down with a cone behind it, could he have not parked there? Or even better gone to the massive Tesco right next door?

Park behind a broken-down vehicle? Are you mad - he might get blocked in!

Good point, that I didn’t think of, but still I don’t understand why they couldn’t go to the actual Tesco superstore.

Yep, it certainly is Clifton Moor Tesco.

They were probably quite pleased with that. Three wheels in and the fourth brushing ( the wrong side) of the line . 90%.

2 for the price of one!

Golf sticking his front wheel into the next space and the Jag on a no park section (despite there being a load of spaces elsewhere) and blocking in the guy next to him at the same time.

A few from the weekend.



Electric car parking only...





The empty space was empty when the Scirocco arrived...



Not quite in the space...



Path parking despite plenty of road being available...



Parked or crashed?

Not sure if I’ve already posted this.
My neighbour parks his work van in the turning space in front of my office window, leaving his wife to park across their two spaces.
Beyond the van is (will be) a nice open space right up to the houses being built opposite, hopefully where local kids can play. Ideal after school as I can sit in the office and keep an eye on them. But not if there’s a van in the way.

Why would you want to sit in your office and stare at kids?

You're a bit late, that gag was trotted out a few pages ago. Nice try though.

Electric car charging only. Not even EVs can park there if they’re not charging.

Sorry yes, you're absolutely spot on there - the thing was the car park was pretty much empty, all the parent & child spaces were free, all of the disabled ones free and there were 100s of out of the way regular spaces at that end because it's the old Debenhams entrance car park and you have to walk further to get in if you park there so depriving an EV of a chance to charge seems extra selfish.

Is the charging cable long enough that you could park behind two of them and charge your car?

Exactly the same thought went through my head, and if its not long enough I wonder if you can purchase an extension cable?

I don't have an EV, but it must be incredibly frustrating to check the app, find out there are 3 empty charging bays at your destination only to discover they're full of ICE cars.

He calls them 'his' now, does he? What do the parents think?

He says after school to keep an eye on them, that to me strongly suggests they’re his, and after someone jokes about it he confirms later on the page says they’re his kids.

Weird post.
