Britain's Worst Parkers non-article

It was that particular photo that I thought showed the small-mindedness of the people taking the photos. 'So what', I thought, about that one!
Clearly small bays, and how else would the person have been able to get the family out of both sides if they had lots of kiddies like me? They have blocked no-one, it's not a footpath, they are not over a line, they are not in a disabled bay, they are not on yellow lines or a loading or drop-off bay. Nothing wrong with that at all.
I bet the retailers would rather they arrived and parked and stayed to shop and spend money, rather than drove away as the bay was a bit too small and they dare not park up on the kerb for fear of some scammer issuing a fake PCN at them.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

They should make parking bays wide and long enough to open the doors on both sides of a vehicle wide enough without hitting the vehicle on the next bay, and to park without it over hanging the bay. Take an average sized car, lets say a ford focus, open the doors wide and that is how big a bay should be.
Okay it's going to take some spaces out of a car park, but if they were designed properly in the first place it wouldn't be that many, most car parks are half empty even at the busiest of times so wouldn't impact on trade, and what it would do is make every bay suitable for a disabled user.
And it would get rid of parking companies infesting car parks, there is no need for these companies now, there would be even less need of them if a retailer actually did the above proposalWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

Given that the article was in the Daily Mail, I'll bet most of the photos were set up.I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world0
