Wonder if some of those 21 million 'aliens' now in the 'States are one and the same as the people (according to Trump) eating all the USA's domestic pets?

I wonder if Trump actually has a valid point. We have a nice little dam near us that had two pairs of breeding swans - until some eastern european "settlers" arrived in the area. Maybe just coincidence but.........

“Settlers” were caught near me stealing the Canadian geese.

I passed my driving test 55 years ago.

Don't think its an "age thing" whether you park your car "drive in" or "reverse in"? So re "maneuvering" your car in or out of a parking space, is the turning circle of a car the same driving it forwards as reversing it? Hadn't thought about it before. Had a look on "interwebbie" and that was inconclusive. Spoke to the AA man on his stand at Brooklands today (a serial reverse it in/its easier man). He reckoned on average, turning circle is circa 5% less if you reverse it (?)

I think reversing into a space when your parallel parking is easier, depending on the space size that is. You seen to have a much better/easier way to manoeuvre,

I always reverse into spaces between cars on the side of the road, talking specifically about spaces in car parks as in article above.

If you’re loading stuff into the car, reversing into the space is no good. I always drive into the space. I think most people do.

You'll sometimes see signs in pubs, perhaps restaurants and other places with doors and opening windows next to the parking area "please do not reverse park here"........to reduce exhaust fumes entering building.

I have that at my office. Which way around do you park a car with side pipes?

As for me, I always reverse park into spaces (for an easy get away, and because with tiny UK spaces its easier to reverse in) - UNLESS I'm going to a DIY store or garden centre etc and I need to load long / big items into the boot.
