Quite right too Meg, the reversing gear is just for the use of backward people anyway....

Re: Car Park and Car Parking

I often get the impression that some get confused between parking properly and parking like a thief abandons a stolen car.

It's easy. You just move that funny knob thing in the middle in the direction of the 'R' on the top.

You can also use to to change into different forward gears if you feel like going a little faster.

Re: Car Park and Car Parking

I always try to use the same parking space at my local Tesco or the closest one if that one is occupied otherwise I can't remember where I parked my car....

The amount of times while I have been waiting for Mrs Fox I have seen the same person walking up and down the car park trying to locate their vehicle...That isn't going to happen to me!

Give me your keys when you arrive Mupsy and I'll park your car for you, and then have it waiting for you when you leave the supermarket......Failing that Mupsy, two of us searching for your car will at least be faster than just one....
