We finished the supermarket shop, loaded up the car boot then Mr SW sat in the car while filling out the form which will entitle us to superdooper points (ie very little) under M'sons new points card scheme. Next he got out of the car again to return the form to the shop. A few minutes later he got back in the car, laughing.

The woman who had been attempting to park on the corner slot as we came out of the supermarket with our week's shopping had finally managed to get it in just as he returned to the car :roll:

    I can teach people to read and write but now way could I teach someone to drive, I don't have the patience. Sometimes I fell very tempted to get out of my car and order them out of theirs so I can park it for them. Then you get the drivers (of both genders) who sit and look at the pretty green lights, then take off just as the amber lights up, and those who sit at junctions admiring the empty tarmac rather than completing their manoeuvre. :roll: DD

    Ah one of Mr SW's pet hates. Why, in a queue at red lights, can drivers not anticipate that, if the cars in front are starting to move, then they, too, need to be ready to do so instead of waiting until the one immediately in front of them has driven a couple of car lengths away :mrgreen:

    Where I work, I often watch, from an upstairs window, people park their cars. They drive in and out and backwards and forwards quite a few times. Then they get out and look at where the wheels are, get back in and do it all again before giving up and leaving the car with the back end sticking out. :lol:
