So here we are all parked up nicely yesterday with plenty of space around us.

German van (front looking in pic) arrives this morning , has a choice of 6 pitches all along front row but decides to park outside our front door taking away sun and view .

So why do they do it ?

Safety in numbers for when the gassing crews arrive.


Who arrived first? you or the one close BEHIND you?
 
No they came after us too and decided to camp in our shadow although other sunny pitches availae. Belgians I think and seem ok

A question I ask myself often . I have , a couple of times , asked the offenders too .
First time I was surrounded in L'Aguiole [?] by a group of French motorhomes . I left and parked in the town square . I decided , at the time , that it must be a French thing . Over the years I've found its all nationalities

What I also find a little strange is that they have stayed locked in their motorhome despite it being a great evening , one you dream of with the sun on your face and a glass in your hand . Maybe they dont just consider the outside life . Still must not judge , we are all entitled to be a little different I guess .

Maybe, there's nowt worse than parking to get your goat. One guy in our street parks 3/4 a car length away from the next car always and parking is at a premium here. You cant quite squeeze in the space :mad2: I can't work out if it doesn't cross his mind, he's stupid, he doesn't care, he wants to be awkward, he's £$%^ at parking or what. Maybe i'll ask one day :D

I always leave a gap for two reasons,one folk may reverse into you,two pulling and screwing at the steering wheel at slow speed pulls the track rod end and steering rack to sh-t when trying to get out.
 
rubbing shoulders with there neighbours and they are more awar

Maybe it because the continentals tend to live cheek by jowel at home ,they are not afraid of rubbing shoulders with there neighbours and they are more savvy about security and realise they are safer in the herd .Lots of Brits scurry off to a quiet corner of the aires and hench leave themselves more vunerable to being singled out by villans. Cant beat a bit of good tight parking on an Aire .:lol-053::lol-053::lol-053:
 
cannot understand,,,,,if you didnt want another van in front of you...then why did you not park iin that space which the van you are complaining about........or in one of the other 6 spaces which you say are vacant,
looking at the picture....the other van is sideways on to you...so wont be blocking too much sun..

as for not seeing the folk outside of their van..........they may not be feeling too well and prefer to stay indoors. or
they may have taken off early in the day and not returning till later in the evening.....or,,,,,,,the list could go on.......

So the grey car pulls up and leaves an enorous space between him and black car, my wife comes home just after and parks the white car, but her wheels are on the double yellows.
That is just inconsiderate parking, not saving his track rod ends, don't think he would know what they are.
Luckily doesn't stop our view or sunshine ��
There are very limited parking spaces in our street, so parking elsewhere may be a very long way away.

We've noticed this, There's a lot that park up and don't even get out of their vans, just sit behind the lace curtains or shut their blinds. Weido's.
