My neighbour parked outside the shops on the Wokingham Road in East Reading last week.
It was quite a tight fit but his Golf isn't that big so no probs.
As soon as he was stationary the male driver and female passenger(both in their 40's) of the Merc ML350 in front jump out and accuse him of damaging their vehicle.
Long story short there were two holes in their rear bumper on the horizontal below the tail-gate.
Being a scientist he borrowed a tape measure from the local newsagent and proceeded to measure bumper heights etc. having told them that a) he never touched their vehicle and b) it was physically impossible for their bumpers to have contacted due to differing heights
As soon as he started taking photos on his phone the husband and wife tried to block him from doing so.
Husband realising he's not getting anywhere walked off leaving the wife (who he told my neighbour was "ill").
She tried telling neighbour it's a "private matter" implying she'll settle there and then.
Neighbour sticks to his guns and she eventually drove off....
So if you happen to pull up behind a black Mercedes ML 350 reg no. KR 04 UG* be very careful.
Cheers, Pewe.

Dodgy place to park anyway, high chance of being blocked in!

Makes a change for someone to be parked in the bay rather than double parked in the middle of the road.
