We share the road with the mentally challenged which makes life on the road dangerous/frustrating/entertaining and downright unbelievable.........like the time I went to Bunnings on the weekend - some mentally challenged person couldn't work out the 'trailer' parking bays indicated by the markings on the road ........so they parked on the diagonal and blocked both bays, I actually stopped the car in disbelief and just stared - I said to my wife while looking at how they'd parked, 'I'd love to be that stupid, life would be so much more of an adventure!'
People who can parallel park are just as entertaining as the ones who can't. I find it amusing when they complain their car has been damaged by a touch parker ......'oh your one of those good parkers who think others can park too'.......bwahahahahah.....more fool you. I would never parallel park my car on a street because I know it will get damaged, it's gunna' happen!!
Look at boaties, we buy fish and chips just to go down and be entertained at the boat ramp. If anyone wants the laugh of a lifetime forget about the parallel parkers.......move on to the boat ramps  absolutely gold!!!!!!!
.....so keeping on topic of getting rid of it/keeping it........who cares - won't change a bloody thing. I'd be more concerned about old 'pops' who CAN park but couldn't tow to save his life but has just gone out and bought a 25ft van for that lap around 'oz'.  .......life's one big adventure |
the point with the caravan is one i share and have always thought there should be at least some training , even if its just a basic bit of education on them , some of them handle worse than a semi , but you have to have a licence for semi .
