To clarify, that is the official way to park in our work's car park, with the perpendicular spaces filled first, and any overspill along the front of them. Yes, the later arriving staff often have to move their cars to let others out, but there's no other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actually 2 of these on eBay at the moment, breaking for parts, so I'm going to see what spares I can get.
