Lidl's car park has become a little more fraught in recent months, as people that should really still be going to other supermarkets have been told to go there by whatever newspaper it is that they read - I usually try to park right round the side at the back - but, of course, this facility will be destroyed by the new road, I presume. The nearer that you park to the door at any supermarket, the more likely you are to get your car bashed.

Lidl carpark has become horrendous lately, I don't even try parking on there now - husband does though & one evening last week while exiting the carpark he was nearly hit by an elderly woman driving a large Merc who was going the wrong way round the one way bit! He politely gestured that she was going the wrong way - & she replied with gestures that I can't repeat! We squeezed past eventually & she drove round the wrong way again twice while we waited in the queue to exit!

I wish all these buggers would just piss off back to whatever place they used to shop at before - they are not proper Lidl people - there should be an assessment before they're allowed to join us.

Too many drivers driving around with no lights on in the dusk.
I tried to flash some idiot in a small 4 x4 on St Leonards that he had no lights and all I got was the finger!

And conversely, too many numpties still don't know how to switch their fog lights off.

Not one, but two sets of giggling middle aged knobheads driving the wrong way up the closed Lichfield Road, by driving up the footpath. Utter, utter stupid bastards.

No excuse! but maybe they live along there, I have to say it must be an utter nightmare for the people who do.

Saw a car and cyclist collide head on yesterday, around 5.30pm between Weeping Cross and Wildwood, cyclist was okay, loads got out of their cars to check if he was okay, young driver of small Vauxhall (i think) checked as well, seemed all okay, cyclist carried on towards town

Problem with a lot of modern cars is (and this is no excuse) the instrument panels are illuminated day and night, also they may be fitted with bright day running lights which when sat in traffic may appear that your lights are on. I cycled past a Fiesta in last nights usual Lichfield Road fun, and there was a Fiesta with no rear lights on, but the dash brightly lit and front lights on.

It is easy to rely on auto lights as well. I've left home with the headlights coming straight on and then realising they've gone off in a brightly lit area.
