Grr, thoughtless normies....

I was in town earlier, just as it got dark, picking up a repeat prescription and I wanted some cards as well. So I came out of the chemists and headed for the art shop, which meant crossing the road, but there is at least a kerb-cut half-way between the two. Only as I came in sight of it I realised there was a car parked exactly where it is. No cars parked for a hundred metres in either direction and he picked the kerb-cut to park across.When I got right up to it he was only parked across a third of it, the side-slope if you like, but the effect was me being completely masked from oncoming drivers as I tried to cross the road in the dark. (I'd already had narrow escapes from a cyclist and a car on the way to the high street). Now there wasn't actually anything coming when I crossed, but I think I can reasonably say it was a pretty irresponsible piece of parking.

It was a police car....
