Worst Parking ever?

So Ealing Shopping Centre is mega busy pre Xmas so someone parked like this...http://i65.tinypic.com/316lqfc.jpgPretty impressive!

Yep! It's fair Dinkum Cobber, There's no Roos in Ealing  and the  Hanwell ones came a cropper way back when.Looks like your commercial Kangaroo catcher days may be shorter than the British winters day!

"not really necessary and urban areas"??Really?Are you saying that there are no kangaroos in Ealing and that my "Roo Bars" were an unnecessary expense!I'm shocked and appalled.

Sounds worrying - are they not escaping out HTML? I'd expect them to at least be using tags to prevent an XSS hack? Thanks for that though - it was the lack of preview that got me!

They might be prompted into updating their entire system if they discover it has been "hacked". There was a recent report on the BBC technology website that insurance companies are snowed under with claims to cover losses due to cyber attacks.

You do it like this (but remove the dashes)BUT if it's the first post (so you're making a new thread) you omit the quotes around the URLAnd to make things even worse the preview will never show you the imageI really wish they would upgrade the forum software!

Trouble is how does anyone know it was simply parked badly or parked like that because other vehicles were parked badly and that was the only way of utilising the space? It could be that that's the only car remaining when the picture was taken.Or it could be the difficulty created by the abundance of huge vehicles now which do not fit parking bays and often leave other cars trapped in bays. Or indeed how difficult it is to get an elderly or infirm passenger out of some vehicles. This model is very difficult as I found out trying one with a relative.It's so hard to tell the circumstance without more to go on but of course, at face value infuriating.I would rather authorities and start charging a premium for overwide vehicles which are really nothing more than a status symbol and unless registered or insured for business use, not really necessary in urban areas.There are so many in one street near me, all way over the bay lines and drivers always bumping them up and down kerbs and nudging smaller parked vehicles and making the road too narrow causing blockages.  Cars are so huge now that  size is a bigger problem than too many.

Thanks Jim - how do I embed IMG tags - I tried [IMG] but the preview didn't show it?

I see a white car in totally black surroundings which appears to be on its side at first, then the frame flips to show it right way up with a large black area below.My website is running on a local computer but limited by the less than 2Mbps upload speed, so there is absolutely no chance of viewing without very slow downloads to disc, but there are three high definition cctv files. The first and last show recordings from the same camera on different dates, while the other shows the driver from the first just walking away. The police requested information about the first incident but as far as I know never actually viewed them. As far as I know there were no serious injuries.
