On my street today, not at the height of lockdown!

Brilliant. Might make up my own saying “priority space needed: not very good at parking”

I think they are called parent and child spaces @ShirleyPhallus 😀

I remember seeing things like this during the strict lockdowns for key workers basically to confirm that they "could" be out and about, parking in the city centre etc. But that was three years ago...

It's probably gone right down where they can't reach it!

It’s so far down in the dash, is it possible that it’s just been left in the car from way back?

I (of messy car extraction) have been known to have those pay and display tickets in that spot for months.

It looked very reachable to me. And very unofficial too.

Maybe its so everyone knows to give rhe car plenty of space in case it coughs on other cars?

DevantMaJardin · 30/03/2023 14:33

LMAO that looks legit 🤣

Pmsl. I may just print one myself. Might come in handy with the new £30 parking charge for Camber Sands

Someone parking in my road wrote ‘NHS worker’ in crayon (I shit you not) on a torn piece of paper to try and dodge the resident permit required. It didn’t work.

Does it matter? Were they parked illegally or in residents' parking? If they were, no parking warden is going to take a blind bit of notice of that, if not as someone else said it has probably just been forgotten about? I have a parking ticket in my car from last February ('22) which slipped down on the dash and which is still clearly visible but would take a bit of an effort to reach and remove. Guess what's still there 13 months after it was valid?!

Mitchumforthewin · 30/03/2023 15:36

Even back in the height of the pandemic that would still have been utter bullshit. Doesn’t give you the right to park where you like cos you’re a self-appointed ‘key worker’

escapingthecity · 30/03/2023 15:53

@ShirleyPhallus I need one of these

gogohmm · 30/03/2023 17:06

I have a (different) self made permit and it only works for 10 mins or so to unload, the traffic warden comes in and asks us to move (checking we really were loading)

Not really. I just thought it was funny. That’s why I posted in Chat not AIBU.
