Why can't holiday makers park?

So I haven't ranted for ages.  And believe me I've had loads of things to RANT about but I haven't.  I've tried to be restrained?!!




One week into the school holidays and my ressie car park is being over run with holiday maker cars................  I'm sorry but I have to rant.




What is it about holiday makers that means they can't park their cars properly?  All the holiday let agencies in this town give the holiday makers the dimensions of their car parking spaces so that they know whether their car will fit. It's not my fault if the visitors don't know what size their car is???



This is a small fishing town.  It was built hundreds of years ago when cars hadn't even been invented.  Most properties in this town don't even have a parking space so those of us who do are extremely lucky.




And yet still people come on holiday in their huge 4 x 4's expecting to be able to fit them into a space that only a smart car will fit into.  So today, in my car park there are 3 huge cars that are way to big for the spaces (& we have big spaces compared to the rest of the town?).


Should I photograph these cars and 'name & shame' the holiday makers who think it's acceptable to leave their cars in the middle of a communal car park.  This is sooooo, soooo disruptive to the rest of us?  If we want to go out or come in, we have to go knocking on doors to ask the holiday makers to move their cars so that we can actually drive into our own spaces that we occupy 52 weeks of the year.


Why on earth do people book a holiday, get told the dimensions of their parking space, and then just think they can park wherever they want, even if that means blocking other people in?


.............And don't even think that you can speak to these holiday makers in a civilised fashion.


If you so much as say to them, that the holiday let they are saying in, has confirmed the parking space dimensions, they just give you a mouthful of abuse and say they haven't measured their car.


Why not???


Every single person who comes on holiday and stays in a holiday let property in this town has to sign a form to say they've read the terms & conditions of the booking. 


They sign it, agree to everything and then just do their own thing when they arrive.  And there's nothing us ressies can do.


Makes me mad!  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......................
