Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

British streets were never built for the amount of cars we have today. I can see why parking half on/off is needed.

I live in a new estate where homes either have two spaces on their driveway or a parking space. People still park fully on the path. To the point if you was in a wheelchair you couldn't get by. People also don't use their allocated parking space and park outside their house on the footpath.

This. My ex has a separate garage with hardstanding in front of it 25m from her front door. The garage is full of shite and she parks in 'her space' outside her front door. She gets the arseache if someone else parks there as well.

Thing is, there is a Tesco Express at the end of the road and delivery lorries have taken her driver side wing mirror about three times.

Still has to park in her space though.
