Not me fortunately! (this time)
Earlier today saw one of them new garish Mondeos (think it is) in our Asda car park, nearside front corner smashed in and fluid dripping out the bottom, so must have just been done. Presumably by whatever vacated the empty space next to it. Or tried to get in, ballsed it up then fled

Said it before but I'm sure parking spaces are getting smaller. Something's changed anyway. I'm developing a habit to get the bumper to hang over the kerb to ensure that the other end doesn't stick out too far. Also, struggling to get in & out the door cos can't open it far enough. 
Still I'm learning which spaces to avoid, in the long run the furthest away tend to be better even if it means a bit more of a walk, as everybody crams themselves in as close as possible to the store they want.

I see...and I didn't know that's what it stood for.
We have recently been blessed with one here in Woking, built, it might be noted, right next door to the mosque (which was the first one ever built in England...a long time ago too, in 1889).
This is fine with me, apart from the fact I can now no longer park safely in the car park there when I want to go to Halfords. The place is heaving every waking hour of the day now.

I don't go to supermarkets anymore - all done online for home delivery now!
In fact, I can't remember the last time I went shopping for anything - food, clothes, white goods etc. Although that may explain why ebay have just apgraded my account to "premium" status and given me my own name rep in case of problems!
