Yes, but why buy a £140k car for the supermarket run? Send the butler out in the Shooting Brake or use one of your other cars

^ Yes, but why buy a £140k car for the supermarket run? Send the butler out in the Shooting Brake or use one of your other cars How do you know he wasn't just stopping in to smash out a meal deal whilst enjoying a spirited drive on some proper roads? Im inclined to agree that actually straddling two bays when you're driving a car like that can be ok provided you think of others first. If he's parked well away from the store and it's not particularly busy then I can give him the benefit of the doubt. I haven't seen how wide the new Aston is but I imagine it's more so than a Focus and being a coupe the doors probably open quite wide. |

It's clearly a lot more forgivable if you're out of the way and the car park is quiet - near the stores and in a busy one is inexcusable, in my mind at least. It smacks of thinking that you are somehow better or more important than everyone else. Having a flash motor does not validate that opinion.

Well, technically, they are both in a space and not straddling the line... but that's the only good thing that can be said for that. |

It's like the TV advert for the new E Class.

Good idea, but I reckon it'd be a waste of time. He's almost certainly Eastern European and has probably spent the same amount of time on grasping the English language as he has learning how to drive.

I had the good fortune to go the Formonthills at St Andrews yesterday evening (a few years ago some TV blokes drove 3 coupes there and upset the locals).
The car park is a place of haphazard parking on a massive scale.
The whole carpark is block paved and each bay is indicated by a couple of the bricks being painted white.
Apparently when you choose to park there these 'lines' are to be ignored so practically every car is slightly over the lines on one side or the other.

Depending on the level of dirt over them and time of day/angle of sun, these "guides" are usually a waste of good paint as they are all but invisible even when you know they're there.
Mind you, what's even worse is when the builders choose to make the marking a slightly darker colour of paver . .. ..

These ones look freshly painted so no excuse there. I know what you mean about the ones that are slightly darker. I was somewhere with them recently and couldn't properly make them out even when I got out of the car!

Have you thought about having a quiet word in his shell? Or is he not the sort of chap who takes well to such a diplomatic approach.

I've just been out for a walk and while walking down one of the streets in the town centre spotted a bint abandoning her brand new A5, not only on double yellow lines but with the front tyre just on the pavement and the rear tyre completely on the pavement (there were spaces available across the street but she's clearly too good for them). Having completed this feat she went into the pet shop that she'd parked outside. In the space of time it took me to go into the neighbouring newsagent for a packet of crisps a traffic warden had appeared and started writing a ticket  |

Forgot to mention this one. I popped into Screwfix in Consett the other week and left Lindsey in the car. A fat woman came and parked in the space next to me. Lindsey said she spent about 5 minutes shunting back and forth to get straight before flinging her door open onto the tree slider of the Land Rover. She was too fat to get out so went and parked in front of the loading bay. After getting out she examined the large dent in the edge of her door. 😂

No doubt she wouldn't have given a thought if she had done the same to someone's brand new car without tree sliders (whatever they are!) |

No doubt she wouldn't have given a thought if she had done the same to someone's brand new car without tree sliders (whatever they are!)  Tree sliders are the galvanised steel items on the sides in place of the aluminium sills. They offer some side impact protection in case of a crash which is otherwise non-existent in a defender and also mean that hidden rocks and tree roots can't cause damage when green laneing. Car park dents do not worry me these days! It also means you can use the sills to jack from if required. |

That is pretty cunty parking, but I agree - you can sympathise but not condone - I doubt the animals were in danger.
It's not just parkers, though. A supermarket not a million miles away - have been meaning to snap this stupidity for a while, and it's often worse than this and covers more than half the 'road':

Supermarket trolley's, my favourite topic once a week, the mouth breathing gorilla's love chucking these in any direction after unloading the shop into their cars. Which is why I park as far away from the supermarket as I can. There is other pathetic behaviour regarding supermarket trolley's but I won't bore you with that. At least these guys seem to be able to tell the different sizes rather than stuffing them into any old stack.

Nothing more annoying about supermarket car parks than thinking a space is free only to pull in and find some lazy fuckwitt has left a trolley in it!
I sympathise with both parties In the above story. If it's been happening a lot perhaps the farmer just finally got fed up. The cars are clearly parked in a way that is obstructing the road significantly narrowing it. Given that there's a farm nearby it's not rocket science to suggest that tractors might need you to leave them some space!

Agreed, we all need to get where we are going and farmers do not exactly have an easy life. I think I would have contacted the local plod and getting them to move these people on. Perhaps the local councils should get their acts together and sort some parking for walkers etc. Not an easy task though with the increase in hiking etc.
