I think more "was", I'm pretty sure that was a good few years ago, I don't think there are any junctions quite like that any more on that road.

Getting as close as possible.

Sent copies of the pictures on here, and one where the driver ended up parking on the grass having driven onto, then over, the pavement before parking up and leaving it, to the company today.
Initial response to one picture was indifferent. So sent the others, in case they thought it was a one-off incident. About ten vans in total.

The registrations, on the vehicles reported, aren't in/on their vehicle list, so they're not theirs.
Despite their company name being on the side of the vans.

Oy! You can't park there mate!

Happened today.

That bench you can see on the right, behind the flower pot, is where we sit having a brew on nice sunny days if we ride to Howden on our Thursday group ride! Fortunately for us, we went somewhere else today.

Given not a lot has happened in Howden since Rodger wrote his chronicles. This might be their way of building up the tourist trade.

Report it to licencing at the Carncil.

Taken after they'd reversed through the junction, rather than go the longer, correct, way round. Ongoing roadworks would have added all of five minutes to their journey time.

They were collecting/delivering one armed bandits to a hotel. The tail lift, just visible in the second picture is level with a ramp in through the front door of the hotel.

Jesus Jones, what an ignorant selfish oaf to park like that! The driver ought to be 'publicly mugged'.

If the delivering fruit machines, they ideally need to be as close as possible, as
A. They're heavy
B. They probably have emptied them too, divided the customers share, and taken the companies share with a very real chance of getting violently mugged, not ideal, but some of the areas they work in are not exactly "desirable"

That picture was taken down by the Parish Church, on Mulcture Hall Road, at the closest entrance to the junction. There's another about thirty yards further in/before the junction.
Driver reversed into the junction, stopping at first entrance. It was the reversing through the junction that was annoying. All to save a few minutes by travelling the right way round.

He would still have parked in the same place though. And I'm not sure why the other way would be "the right way", there aren't any No entry signs there, it is obviously a road which can be used in that direction until you get to the point where it turns left.
