Parking on double yellow while collecting Chinese - Sally (24th Feb 2025 19:16:43)
To clearly ignorant lady in the white Peugeot collecting the family Chinese to feed her overweight family this evening at approx 7pm, well done you! You parked on a double yellow line with no hazards, no indication and no consideration for any other road user.
There’s a car park behind Lee’s Garden and another across the road. You’re a lazy inconsiderate person.

What a delight you are Sally. By all means criticise the parking but insulting the family because they are overweight is just plain rude and unnecessary.

I too was stuck behind this lady waiting for her Chinese outside Lee’s Garden. Her husband came out and seemed a bit upset by the beeping cars stuck behind her.
What a donut she is! And she looked like she likes a donut too.

Putting aside the legalities of whether or not one should park on a double yellow for just a moment, was it really terribly inconvenient for you Sally? At 7:00pm on a Monday evening were you stuck behind aforementioned car in a traffic jam that snaked back all the way to Holycombe? Did you get to wherever you were going an hour late?
Personally I have nothing but admiration for the lady and her family. As someone who starts each week thinking "I must eat better and drink less alcohol" I am insanely jealous that they unashamedly flaunt that idea and stuff their faces on a gargantuan Szechuan supper on a Monday evening no less.
Bravo I say.

Double yellows there for a reason Geoff. Sounds like pure laziness to me.

Hi,
Maybe a disabled driver, or physically infirm?

Double yellows mean no parking, plus any reasonable driver would see it's not an appropriate place to stop as it forces drivers behind to overtake (into oncoming traffic) and close to a junction.
Stop trying to defend the selfish actions of dumb people.

Selfish parents also park on the (relatively new) zig-zag yellow lines on The Avenue at school drop-off and pick-up times.
These people just don’t care and I doubt any amount of posting online will make them change their ways.
