A man pulled up in our overcrowded parking street near the train station. And parked smack in the middle of two spaces. I asked him (very kindly) if he could pull forward or backward so that another car might be able to park...and...he said "No, I have to get to the train". With the overcrowded and controversial parking on streets near the station, could people please think of others when they park?


Fuming.

The Council's calculation of 507 residents' parking spaces within the proposed CPZ with no individually marked parking spaces is predicated on considerate parking and each car "occupying" no more than 5.5 metres.


In the real world there will be less than 507 available spaces.

That sort of selfish behaviour really gets my goat! All it takes is a little bit of consideration for others...sigh...


Bet he was a parent with a sense of entitlement! ;-)


ETA: the last statement was a joke, really just a joke (see the winking, smiley face), it may not be very funny but please don't start a debate over it!

What sort of lazy @#$%& drives to the bloody train station anyway


One who lives a number of miles away and wants to use a cheaper zone, one who has just delivered their handicapped relative/ neighbour somewhere and has to get to work, one who has to rush off somewhere this evening and doesn't have the time to get home and pick up their car, one who is going to pick up a very heavy package in town and will need the car to get it home...


Doesn't excuse selfish parking, of course.

Surely that will cost more in petrol?

That seems very unlikely from such a selfish twat, and where is their blue badge?


Anyway, couldn't the OP just accidently fall over near the car, and put their hands out to break their fall, whilst holding their keys...

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
