Fairly gentle really. I saw a guy pull into a family slot and his girlfriend jumped out. I was actually looking for a family slot so I pulled in behind him and asked him to move - quite politely and he told me to go away - quite impolitely. So I noticed one of those parking cones - one of the several millions littering our road. So I picked it up and used it like a megaphone to announce to one and all that this person parking here was using it because he couldn't be bothered to walk. He was actually parked one space away from the main entrance to ASDA in St Austell on a Saturday morning. Within a minute he had 20 or so people staring at him. It really was quite funny. My wife ran off in embarrassment and he moved! -- Kind regards Rich http://www.cregy.co.uk Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.
