Too late for the big scrape on my car though.

Was it a lady who done it?

Yep, the boss woman so I couldn't really complain too much.

Is she a chinese lady?

After I punched her in the face, she look like a russian alcoholic.

They should consider similar here

My car is full of scrapes, with idiots opening their doors and not giving a toss who's doors they are battering at the same time

I know lots of people over there who complain about that. Here: not so much.

It's terrible here, the standard of driving is minus crap

I'm the first to admit,I am bloody useless at parking!Especially reverse????Any tips would be most welcome!(please)

Just go down the Aussie route.........No Worries and just scrape both cars either side of yo instead of reversing back and straightening up.

I hope parking bays are bigger in Oz. All parking bays in England are designed for mini coopers.

And then people don't care whether you can't open your door or not.

And my OH kept wondering why when we were back in Oz last year I was parking the absolute furthest away from the shops!Talking of shopping car parks.This happened to me last year.I was behind a 4 wheel drive in a Tesco carpark,waiting to go back onto the little slip road.Just minding my own business,I was about a car length back ok?All of a sudden the jerk in the 4 wheel drive decides to plant his foot in reverse?I started beeping my horn frantically,he went straight into the front of my car.When he got out of his car to investigate(I was fuming)he stated he did'nt see me?Um try looking in the mirrrors!!!!!!!!My car was a write off!!!!!I live in a village and it amazes me to no end(also infuriates me)that every time there is a 4 wheel drive coming towards me,do they ever give way?Like hell they do,most if not all just come thundering through,one even hit my side mirror 2 weeks ago they were that close!What is it with 4 wheel drivers?Give me a break!

The parking bays on the street here are huge and I love watching people still take 5 minutes to get into one. They are 1 1/2 cars long and wider than the UK and still SO MANY people can't get their car in straight etc. Even when the adjoining spaces are empty. Me and hubby have had some good laughs in the last few months.

I was wondering why I found parallel parking so easy.........
