We sometimes forget just how small they really are

[Dave Mann]

This puts it in perspective, there's not many cars can do it.     Many decades ago I parked my Seven  in Kingston upon Hull in a Seven sized space put my money in the meter and went about my business. On returning to the car I found a traffic warden standing by it who proclaimed that it wasn't a parking space. Close examination revealed that the space markers had started from both ends of the street and were left with an undersized space in the middle which hadn't got yellow lines. I got away with it.
