I'm surprised no-one tried to park in the 'gaps' either side of you.  :signLOL:

Thats ideal nice to see a hatchback car in the space rather
Than a 4x4 straddling the White lines :)

My local Tesco has a couple of these and obviously I head for them anytime I'm forced to shop (low on Guinness, crisps, etc). It still didn't stop some plonker seeking me out in a totally empty car park and reversing into my rear quarter.
Perhaps we could petition Carlsberg,,,

John

Actually managed to get parked in this one in the local town centre where the other half works, best space I've ever parked in

Thats The Stella Artois of car park bays Nodz... :signLOL:.. Thats a great idea Matsu,so the guy could,nt do anything as you paid for 2?.I often stop for 10mins in a reasonably busy car park,its 20p for 20mins and someone always rams up against me.40p seems very cheap to ensure no dings. :driver:

Its a little market town where I work,gets busy because of the shops and car parking was free but the local town wotsits decide to make a bit of money and charge for parking.No body ever stops longer than 10mins so 20p is nowt..The little hitlers they have employed to ensure mis-use are funny.Uniforms too big,hats a couple of sizes above armed with digi cams..

Always love a space like that!

There is one in the Arcadian in Birmingham which is nice and spacious, nearly always taken though :(

That's how it's done Mike!  :party:

I want to say the Germans know how to do it, but to be fair at my local Sainsburys there's three or four spaces just like that. Usually only free at off peak times though...

The new gloss front end is looking very nice mate.  Some nice spaces there too, although I worry about the ones on there own too as you never know who isn't going to look as they reverse  :scared:

LOL - I know chap. I meant the layout of the car park though which doesn't look too bad!
As you say, you can never account for the car park users  :fighting:
