A new game, called Spot a Parking Bay

[ZZZZ]

Or, it could be called "how to pay £50 for a free parking" (it's two hours free at this multi-storey) ...

It is hard to believe, anyone can that absent-minded - fair enough, you pulled into a non-existent bay, as the brain is taking a nap, but surely once you're out of the car, you could see there are no white lines around it?

Good job my car is only 3.9m long, so I got out without much trouble ...

I’m old enough to remember driving into a city or town and always find free parking.

Halcyon days.

Dog eat dog world now.

If he'd been a full member he'd have parked further to the left to give the BMW more room to open his doors.

I'd have left a note on his windscreen to point out the error of his ways...

Horse and carriage days?

I started driving in the 60s (not in the UK) and parking was always a problem.

Either that or he lived in Daventry - everywhere is free parking.

I think Northamptonshire County Council did that - a nice, neatly printed note, in a cute bright yellow pouch ... the delivery charge is a bit steep though

I once had a view from my office of a private parking bay (happened to belong to a model agency - and I spent a lot of time looking out the window) - people going to the nearby wine bar always parked there. They came up with a lovely solution of putting a large sheet of very sticky paper over the windscreen. It would take the driver about 30 minutes to remove it. I've often been tempted to keep some in my car to repay some of those really inconsiderate parkers ---my wife keeps reminding me that I am not the law

It happens so often- I thought about getting some cards printed ......

I like that idea!

Here's 1 Ive made and used earlier.

Did the trick. Print at A3, laminate and tape to the errant vehicle windscreen under the driver side wiper blade.

I have had vehicles removed from blocking my egress to the highway, costs about £180 a go for the registered keeper.

Got to love some of these:

There was another one that I can't really put up which said "I hope you don't f**k like you park as you'd never get it in!"
