    A bit like keeping seats in the old days at Pennywell Comrades Club or White leas Social Club. The door man at White leas was once told not to let anyone else into the concert room as it was full. The next person in was the elected leader and his wife, of South Shields Council. He told the leader straight, he had been told not to allow any Mayor in there.

    True story.

    I reverse park every single time as I can park so much easier in a tight space reversing than I can do swinging it straight in going forwards!

    You are the parking bastad here!

    Great for bingo payout's and some of the committee men for a laugh. Saw one turn get onto the stage after setting up, strummed down the first chords on his guitar and never played another note. Committee man up on to the stage and a 'Thats it son, off you go"

    Pennywell Comrades. Seen some decent turns in there. Cannot recall them ever having a cover charge on.

    The one in Pennywell Comrades only ever sounded like he was scraping butter off his toast

    I think the answer to that type of person is to put all your snow back where you found it , with emphasis on piles of it around their wheels .

    I always tend to reverse in if possible it makes it so much easier getting out as well.

    Easier getting in. I couldn't park forwards in half the tight spaces I reverse into!
