Women? No mention of them in the Bible.

Your mother was a man?!!

Seriously - the Bible is crammed with prostitutes, witches and adulteresses... Loads more than the laughable Game of Thrones can shake an over-promoted stick at, anyway...

And I am a girl... just off back to my cage, now I've done the dishes... :wave:

No i didnt MAKE it sound like anything

Its all in your mind, i never said anything about affordability your passing your own words off to be mine

People who dont drive what you call "chelsea tractors" that does not mean that they can not afford them, my old man for example has several property owned out right and can "afford" to buy one but chooses to drive his classic car instead

I wasn't insinuating anything

nepotism is flourishing in some quarters I see...

The car park company does have a responsibility to the customer, I would have thought. It is not unreasonable to expect that when the time comes to leave you are not prevented from doing so by something which is under the company's control, i.e. how many cars they let in. If there are designated spaces for, say, 200 cars and they allow in 300 because it's Boxing Day, then there is a duty on them to manage it so that the people who parked there earlier are not inconvenienced by the additional vehicles.


The correct course of action for the OP should have been:


1. Approach a member of staff for assistance (perhaps they could have moved the other cars or guided you out). If this didn't work,


2. Note the time, get in the car, play a CD, read a book, and wait for the driver of the blocking car to return. And when you get home, complain to the parking company and include an invoice for your wasted time. Back it up with a threat of legal action if you like - you're more likely to be successful with this than with a claim for damage to your car because you were too impatient to wait and too incompetent to get the car out on your own.


I would agree with everything said above - if you hit a stationary object, whether it's a pillar, or a car or a fallen tree, it's your fault every time.

Not a '98 Corolla is it by any chance?


Could be a 4.2 S1 E-Type I guess. Doesn't matter in the dark.

Any news OP ?

I know I'm late to the party but it does make me laugh that people buy these big cars and majority have no idea how to drive them. The amount of big cars I've seen parked over multiple parking bays and that seem to think the have more rights on the road than smaller cars is beyond me.

I'd hope she'd be prosecuted for some motoring offence for that.

Also, even a audi a4 couldn't get out either. One lane is occupied.

But you attempted it all the same...
