"Brilliant parking by the Citroen driver, right in the mouth of an opening. I see similar stupidity regularly as people park , two wheels on (and blocking pedestrian, wheelchair, pram passage) the pavement directly opposite the entrance to the pub carpark which is also the entrance to the caravan park behind and for the articulated dray wagons."
Duncan, usually wholly agree with you, and certainly I should have better things to do just now. However, the Citroen in the picture belongs to the dear lady wife, and is parked directly opposite the drive to allow cars reversing from the workshop or car port to turn in either direction. The pavement was required by planning when the four houses on the other side of the lane were built after the railway closed in the 1960s, it runs in front of them and nowhere else.
Other than such arcane details, you are wholly correct about some drivers unable to park or undertake any manoeuvres without beeping or flashing sounds. Owners of SUVs without tow balls but with personalised numbers invariably suffer from serious insecurity which causes them to behave very badly when they see a 2CV.
