I'm absolutely bloody seething after reading posts on here and seeing horrid pictures of totally inconsiderate,selfish parking!:ninja:
I'm off out soon,with my camera to take more piss boiling pics!!:cursing:
Luckily I have my trusty olde digital camera in my pocket as I was due to be going kayaking today (my oppo isn't well so we've delayedmit until next week) else Id have missed todays beauty. Still, ive submitted it to YPLAC and when they publish it ill email a link to the company.

Now this is, if anything, even better. And what a good-looking man is the mayor of Vilnius!

ETA I'm only disappointed that it's not a 'real' tank - more of a multi-wheel drive armoured vehicle, eminently suitable for city use and with the admittedly-great advantage that it doesn't tear up the tarmac in the way that a tracked vehicle would...

When I worked in the office and walked to work there was someone who often blocked the whole pavement with a Range Rover Sport outside a shop and I had to resist the temptation to walk right over the top of it.
 
And another dipsheet who can't tell the difference between a road and am pedestrian footway, 0830hrs this morning.

What utter contempt the driver must view his employer to behave like that in a vehicle emblazoned with the company name.

Mrs D walks with a stick, and on bad days I have to do push chair duties, so this boils my wee wee. Why should she have to brave a main road so some little last s****e can walk a few feet less while doing the job he's paid to do?

I did confront the driver, a scruffy short arriss gnome with less muscle mass than Alan Carr, but apparently it's "not his problem".

He could have parked quite safely and legally in the road, but that would have put him 2 car lengths, about 10 metres being generous, further away from the shop to which he was delivering and he clearly had neither the physical capacity to manage an extra 33 feet or the mental capacity to figure it out.

Just as he was returning to the van a vision restricted chap from the village who walks with a white stick came by on the other side of the road (beautiful timing) and started to add his two penneth but the driver got in and drove off like Roger Ramjet with curry sauce on his ring.

What a wonderful advert for a small local firm, who clearly have top notch HR and recruitment processes and who hire only the cream of applicants. Well, it won't be so jolly when the locals stop buying their wares.

I don't do Facebook or the like, so if anyone wants to paste these images onto Whittlebury Bakeries Facebook or Twitter page then please do so with my absolute blessing.
I know the owner, I can guarantee he wouldn't care. He's fairly well known locally for his attitude.

It’s a BTR80 personnel carrier (I think). Most tracked military vehicles have rubber track pads and can happily run on roads without causing much harm. I used to love being Captain Gruber when taking my little tank for a spin in the countryside.
