Is it seriously a rule that you have to reverse into the parking space...
What does it achieve? Is it a mollycoddling attempt at keeping you all from bumping into each other?

Yep.
It's a 'Safety' thing. Many big companies are doing this now....
The problem is that nobody designs car parks for this, so you're buggered if you need to get something out of the boot (as I often have too). Utter Madness.

This particular rogue employee has parked on the grass. He may already have a catalogue of similar offences, and is doggedly sticking to his choice.

I can see now that we might be at crossed purposes. If go down the path at the far left of the photo, there is a lamp post on the other side of the road, and just to the side of that, I thought I saw a puddy tat. Is that the rogue employee.

We have a rogue employee and I don't think hiding behind a lampost is going to save him from the parking police....

There's more than just the one!

I found the garden centre, I even found the extensive bird feeding section, but I came away with a new winter coat and hoodie




And a small bird bath

[QUOTE 4644505, member: 21629"]That's the only way I'm able to park. I used to squeeze my car into the most tiny parking spaces ... in reverse. Once I tried to park it facing forward as there were 3 empty spaces next to each other. Bloody mistake it was, not only because it took me a few tries to park it within the white lines but because my workmate sat in his car just few feet away and he saw everything. My excuses "I am blonde woman driver" made him laugh even more. [/QUOTE]


I really shouldn't but



only because it brought back memories of me being unable to park with the same amount of available space. I no longer drive.

 

[wanda2010]

Nope. Not a 'blonde' moment.

(don't ask me how I know that............)

For some reason 'The Avengers' TV theme tune is going round in my head.

 

[Salty seadog]

To be fair I always reverse into parking bays. It is easier on the way out.

My new passport is on its way, applied on Sunday, posted off my old one on Monday, they received it Tuesday, they confirmed my details and photo were accepted Wednesday and posted back to me Thursday for delivery Friday. E-mails at every stage, no hassle. Perhaps the system isn't as broken as some people would have you believe.

I'll probably go back to that one once my petty sense of humour wears itself out!

Loving that photo. Thnx.

I'm going to bed, today has been something up with which I have found very difficult to put.
