parking: take two


With my car's poor turn radius, lack of experience and driving capability- parallel parking is a problem. Especially on a massive hill where the cars are parked very close together. But you look over in desperation at the situation and see a man in a fluorescent vest waiting to help you back up into the spot. These parking attendants are in every car park just waiting to help you for .20p. They are a godsend. Sometimes a bit annoying as they show you a spot in an empty car park, but they still mean well. Although there income may result in a less than a fiver for the whole day and night, they still sit out there in the cold trying to track down the an odd job to make some money for food. They don't beg or pester you like some other people in the city but genuinely help you (especially people like me who are inept at parking :). Without a few of these attendants, I would have been stuck- literally.
