Random Irritations

The European tour, sponsored by Titleist. Followed by various shots of JT, amd JS who don't play on the European tour.

Jim Thorpe and Jamie Spence?
I thought they'd both retired a while back.

Empty car park in Sainsbury’s today woman parks.
Another woman reverses right behind her so close you wouldn’t get a cigie paper between them .
First one comes back full trolley can’t get in the boot ,hilarious!

Why do people park boot into a parking space knowing some one might block them?

That's done simply to stop the Maidstone oiks from shoplifting everything from Primark in Canterbury 😂😂

Thank God I'm not a Maidstone oik tarnished with this brush In out village of Marden we're far to upper class for that, we prefer chav

I thought it was because they couldnt get into Ashford because of the caravans and cant get over the Medway into St Rood because of the huge delays as the council once again alter the road lay-out....

Ain't that the truth about Medway and yet more new road lay outs every time I try to visit my parents have to 're engage my local knowledge of back roads and cut throughs to avoid it all..

So you've got a better chance of seeing if it's safe to pull out, particularly when you get a Chelsea tractor parked nose in either side of you? Or simply because it's safer and you aren't expecting a moron to block you in when the rest of the car park is empty?

You want young kids walking the shortest distance possible in a car park so they don't get run over. Either going in or at the end when bored, kids and car parks are not a good mix.

You want both adults and kids walking in a safe area; where was the last supermarket car park, or any car park come to that, with a dedicated pedestrian route from ANY parking space to the front door?

I haven't seen one although Papas has described one near to him. That is my point though, by having the parent child parking space near to the front it minimises the risk.

Actually, I'm slightly wrong. At my local Morrison's they have disabled spaces right up against the front of the supermarket so people who get those spaces do not have to cross any road.

I don't disagree with reducing the risk but they should eliminate the risk completely is my point. I'm amazed in this day & age of H & S regs I'm amazed they still get away with it. It could quite easily be done, but they don't.

"Child in car" signs in the back of cars with no children in.

But you can’t get your trolley between the cars if the car park is full.
Then you see drivers running after them if it’s on a slope.

Was waiting for missus best half hour for ages , the standard of parking was abysmal, both sexes!
It was raining my life’s not that boring

Not having that !
If you can’t back out of a car parking space you shouldn’t be driving!

I always reverse park.
I’m not saying it’s difficult to reverse out, but your filed of view is worse.

Reversing in a space with no moving vehicles, or reversing onto the road with moving vehicles you may not see.

I know what I’d choose.

It is, technically, safer to reverse in and come out front first as you're nearer the "business" end and you have more vision.
Having said that, I almost always go in front first because, as you point out, it means you can access your boot...

I was talking car parks not roads!
The speed limit in car parks is a lot lower

Thats a different story

 

[bobmac]

Unless of course someone in a 4x4/suv etc with blacked out rear windows parks next to you, then you can't see if anything is coming

You’re still reversing onto moving vehicles.

As you’ve testified, you saw lots of amusing idiots in the car park today. I’d rather see them as I pull out.

Most supermarkets this way have a nice bollard protected trolley pushing pathway so you can fill your boot safely away from the traffic.
I always revers into a car park space any, always quicker to get away after
Also, if I have the unpleasant need to take the wife shopping, I will stay in the car. People are such much more careful if youre sat in the car next to them
