I would like to consider myself a fairly passive being who manages to steer off most of life’s irritations with a bit of silent muttering…but an issue that seems to be really irritating me at the minute, is that of the selfish parker, so if you are one, perhaps you’d like to bow out at this stage……(yes, that does include you Max)!
