OT Where to park?

[whisky-dave]

Not as expensive as the subserdised student union shop.

[Huge]

Not the one in Milton Keynes. The spaces there are standard Euro size.

[Huge]

And this is my problem how, exactly?

Now the ball is with another generation...

presumably he didn't drive a car?

One that my mother solved by teaching me how to behave in and around traffic.

You are from Chatham and I claim my £5

LOL!

I have lived and worked for many in Chatham matey many moons ago.... and they're far worse down there FFS!

[whisky-dave]

Wasn't with mine we never had a car, makes me wonder how we didn't stave to death.

Yes - but that takes time and is not really a valid assumption for kids < some-small-age.

And supermarket car parks are full of morons/old biddies/other dangerous sods.

Why are motorbike bays always very close to the entrance? The average motorbike rider tends to be younger than the average car driver. And by nature reasonably fit.

[ARW]

A woman probably do that, it would not make her a talented driver.

[Huge]

So what? She should have thought of that before she popped it out.

[charles]

so what is to stop banging the body of the car next door.

Nor my local primary school assures me, can anyone do anything about wankers parking on yellow zig tags outside the school - this is by parents at drop off & pick up times FFS.

Didn't one of our political leaders state recently that councils should NOT use their traffic enforcement camera vehicles to obtain evidence for this type of illegal parking.

Around my way the "parent" campaigners have succeeded in getting 24/365

20mph speed limits and road humps around most of the schools.

If you go past most of them at school run time it's the same parents parked on crossings, double parked in the road, parked on pavements etc.

[Adrian]

They're merely demonstrating the need...

You would like the people who run the Three Counties Showground near the Malverns.

Their website states that they refuse to discriminate against the disabled - so they can pay the full whack to get in, just like anyone else.

[Dave Liquorice]

They do that outside the Co-op here. There is a carpark right next to it and I think in the 13 odd years we have lived here I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times there hasn't been spaces free in it... Lazy, inconsiderate gits.

A year or so back I did a FOE request to the local council about when traffic wardens had visited over the previous 12 months. They only visit when the single yellow lines are active (Easter to October ish) and then only a couple of days a month. So who enforces the double yellows? No one... The Police don't do it unless there is a serious obstruction and then only reluctantly.
