    Wonder did the designer of this carpark get a bonus for figuring out how to make the best use of the available space?

    Less of the handicapped :(

    I'm a little sensitive in that respect. Limited mobility or disabled parking space is ok, and for the record I'm not one for political correctness ;)

    Pointed it out to a senior official the last time I was down, U21's V Bulgaria and his response floored me.

    It's actually pretty sad that I can recognise a car park space!! :p

    I can imagine what their reply was, and I'd say I know who you were talking to as well.

    This forum is far more appropriate to be fair. No need to be so sensitive.

    Those photos show just how ignorant some people are. Also Thimblefall leave the moderating to the mods.

    Name and shame! Where did you take the shot?

    Funny that they went to the bother of marking out a decent space between the wheelchair space and the next space, which is important for wheelchair users, but then let somebody plonk the support wire in the middle.
