Never to the dark side Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 In the past I have visited KFC after the game, never ceases to amaze me that amount of cars going past from the Cumberland basin area to wards Bedminster Down and vica versus. For those not wanting to get caught up in the after match day traffic, why don't the drivers turn off at Boyces cars dealership and head towards the Long Ahton bypass for Bedmister down? Don't even get me started on those who visit the KFC retail park 20 minutes before the games finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Well; even by your standards this is pretty random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Reminds me of the phone call my friend made to her elderly husband. She heard on the news that a car was traveling in the wrong direction on the motorway that her hubby would use so called him to say , ’ There’s an idiot driving the wrong way on the motorway, take care ‘ He replied, ‘ an idiot? The world’s gone mad , they’re all going the wrong way ‘. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a tourist attraction up Parson St at the moment. GWR are using Lee’s old tombola to pick what trains will run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I've missed all these parking stories/frustrations/recommendations. Really feels like we're heading back to some normality when there are posts about parking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really feels like we're heading back to some normality when there are posts about parking! I hope so for you guys over in the UK. You have done it tough over last the 15 or so months. If there are parking issues at football matches then this means football matches are being attended. I hope you do have parking issues as this means we are going well.

Port Said Red Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 This came to mind. Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there, and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be.

Don't even get me started on those who visit the KFC retail park 20 minutes before the games finish I was planning my escape route for next Saturday, the holiday traffic back to Devon is a nightmare and I’ve got to get back smartish. The traffic around Clevedon/Weston junctions are usually bad so I was thinking of the A38 and had completely forgot about the new bypass to get me from LA bypass to Bemmy Down. It didn’t exist when I lived in Bristol. Game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I asked a neighbour why they always drive into a parking bay."Because I'm no good at reversing". I didn't ask how they get they get out of that parking bay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ask how they get they get out of that parking bay though. Over the years I have worked at sites where the H&S team have made people reverse into parking spaces. The idea being that in the case of "an incident" (explosion, gas leak etc) there are likely to be less accidents as people try to clear the area. I guess your neighbour would have to turn down jobs at places like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
