Would you park here?

Based on all you have described here as to the state of your car - you were obviously lying when you said you removed your carpets down to the metal every week to clean them.
If you reply you won't get an answer - I hate liars.
And no I would not park next to your shed of a car. If you can't take care of your own car then you sure as hell won't care what you do to mine!
If I remember I said I get the bits I'd lost from under the carpets. (But I can still tell if it's full of water though).
I guess you don't drive a new BMW then.0 -

although as much as i sound like im being a nag i do exactly the same as you do so i have no room to talk
I do that, but I reverse in, so my drivers door isn't blocked.
I don't mind a few more scruffs on the passenger side, it's got enough from driving with the side in hedges in the lanes around here.0 -
I find the trolleys make big stratches down the sides of the cars next to me when I push them to the boot though.
I can understand that, but still it's a poor excuse. You can always leave the trolly by the bonnet while you lift the bags into the back.
And the reason you park at an angle is ???Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

A few years ago we returned to our then Range Rover after visiting a supermarket only to be confronted by the angry owner of a Citroen which had been parked (badly) next to us. He was effing and jeffing about the size of our car etc etc, even blaming US for HIM opening his OWN car door into the side step bar of our Range Rover!!! Our car was perfectly parked between the white lines and yet his little Citroen was parked on the white line with enough space on the opposite side to probably fit another car and even more stupidly there was another 2 empty spaces next to him where he could have parked quite happily.
We regularly park at the rear of a supermarket car park as it normally quieter and because we're wider it gives us more room to get out without the worry of dinging another car. However we've lost count the number of times we've returned to find a car so tightly parked next to us we have struggled to get in. It wasn't so bad with our previous Range Rover, we never got dinged because the side step bars stopped that but our newer Rangie has the auto side steps so isn't protected as much.0 -

Bags? You don't shop at Aldi then?
I never remember the bags there.
It all goes in loose.
Or Wickes? 10 bags of sand, I want the trolley by the boot.
I never reverse in, unless I can back through the space into the next one.
This was just a one off, when I was being really lazy, and drove through forwards.0 -
