A pavement parking odyssey

[Accy cyclist]

I've just been skipping through old photos on my phone and found these. It's exactly five years ago today (14th Oct' 2020) since I took these photos. They still make me seeth looking at them!🤬 I remember the car being there when I took my dog up to the local park and it was still there 2 hours later! 🤬

Not just the parking that's dodgy. It's illegally mis-spaced, but worse, that reg belongs to a Vauxhall Corsa!

Accy did say he'd taken the photo 5 years ago

That is obviously a "personal" plate, so may well have changed cars in 5 years.

The studs on your dog's collar must have left some bad scratches on that. 😂

True, but to go downmarket from a Jag to a Corsa shows it's not just their parking that's poorly managed.

To be fair a Corsa is probably a far more reliable proposition if you adtually like going places and arriving.

They could have retired, and downsized, or the Jag might have been a company car

We’ve gone downmarket a bit over the years

It does make make me smile how we are judged by the car we drive.

Everything that's wrong with modern motoring, bloated, oversize 'car', selfish 'f*ck you' parking and the obligatory 'I'm speshul, look at me!' numberplate. You should have set fire to it Accy.

Talking of parking
I went to Runcorn yesterday - had an appointment at 11:30
and tried 4 different car parks before I found a space
in that time I found 6 different cars parked directly over the white lines
VERY clear white lines as well - not the ones that are so worn out that you can understand people not seeing them!

Hopefully they'll all get parking tickets for parking outside a marked space.

You are clearly an optimist!!!
