Evolution of the car park

Since moving into my new property, added to the fact that I'm virtually retired with a fair bit of idle time on my hands, I've started to notice some interesting features of the car-park my property overlooks.
Fact one: days of the week (well, only two really!) Monday is when the woman of the house decides she has to replenish the food stocks and the car park is full of all the 4x4's you know, the Range Rovers, Jeeps, BMW's and 300 ton Oskosh earth movers...... (hmmm, that last may have been a little fib). Thursday is market day. All the farmers are in and the car park is full of peugots and mitsubishi 'trucks'.

Fact two: the larger the vehicle, the smaller the driver (or the other way around). Generally you'll see the 4'9" six stone person getting into the biggest 4x4 in the car park, conversely the 6'9" ex basketball player, gone to fat weighing in at about 36 Stone will be seen squeezing his massive bulk into that Fiat 500..... WHY?

Fact three: It's a car park, why oh why does it attract those moronic imbecilic cretins called youths? wheel spinning and doughnutting their 1980's ford fiestas with the go faster stripes? or revving the engines of their sewing machines, oops I meant Yamaha 50cc toy bikes? (aren't they the only group of people it's still legal to punch?)

Oh the joys of having too much time on my hands.
 
I could prescribe something for those cretin's ie youth's, but I'm not allowed
 
I watched one person trying to Parallel park in a empty bay with space for 4 cars yesterday, by they time they managed it, the 30 mins in any 1 hour parking had expired, if only I had the time to record it
 
The other thing I have noticed is that the entire car park may be empty except for two cars parked in alternate bays in a corner. The very next car will insist on trying to lever it's way in between those two cars instead of the any of the other 80 empty slots.....

They do get company occasionally during their time whilst parked a hatted lady or gentleman now referred to as a Parking Enforcement Officer formerly referred to as Traffic Wardens in old money . If they've outstayed their welcome they get a document to read placed on their windscreen whilst they await the return of their owner. :08:
 
Here ya go then, spot the farmers car..........

And another thing, there's only one meter in this part of the car park, and Cornwall Council are determined for it to blend seamlessly into the background. Poor people have to hack their way through the undergrowth to get to it!

That little wall used to be a favourite of the local ferals, oops I meant to say kids. I wonder how many are in there still, just their skeletal remains.....:37::01:
 
We went in a car park in LOOE ,seemed the size of a couple of Wembley pitches put together. Out of 8 or 10 meters (did not fully count them ) only one was working properly!!:geek::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Get yourself out there with your cordless hedge trimmer Tony, I see the sign re Blue badge and Cornwall CC are making up their own rules of it's use, then wonder why badge holders park on double yellows
