What about Englishwomen?
They'd crash the bloody thing trying to park it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good to hear, and if the house is affected you also get the chance to reconsider your offer.

Seconded.

There is an absolute torrent of male violence against women and girls that rarely gets discussed here. Take this story for instance.
Or the case about the paedophile man in northern Ireland who cat fished hundreds of girls leading to at least one taking her own life.
What the fuck is going on with men?

Drivers would naturally rotate spots depending on whether they would need to charge or not.
Drivers would naturally park in "their" spot and silently fume if anyone else had the temerity to do so.
Much less of a problem with a small circle than with a long channel.
Near me there was an LTN (before they were called LTNs) which had rising bollards for residents to access. They failed so much that the council eventually got rid of them. Loads and loads of rising bollards containing high voltage charging infrastructure seems a recipe for huge maintenance costs.

Private car ownership should be regulated out of existence and replaced with a state owned share scheme + charging infrastructure.
No more whining about pay per mile, road tax, kerbside mains access or road rights. Thousands of jobs created and we're on our way to curing car brain so everyone can get on with their fucking lives.

Marina Hyde made a similar point in her latest column. It's absolutely mind blowing that 26+ women have accused Trump of sexual assault, but it is hardly mentioned, or at least hasn't made the slightest difference to his chances of becoming President again. It's normalised. Something like 60% of men are planning to vote for him.

Good point to keep in mind.

Are you tempting @umop3pisdn to make a comment about some drivers parking abilities?

As before, unless they want to make it work. Charging points are not like other car parking spaces. People know they have a function and try to leave them free if they don't have to use them. I see it in my street, too. There are always different electric cars parked there.

Rising bollards are bollocks. I'm sure we all remember the famous car-spearing bollards installed in various cities. I think the videos were 'viral' about 15 years ago. Did you look at the site jellybaby linked to? They're plug-in bollards, quite a clever design, although no idea how durable. You remove them after use.

As you know, there's generally a problem with irony that the audience either have to be in on the joke or be given some indication what is meant, and there's always a risk in saying something that prima facie is just wrong. Especially on t'Internet—if you say it to someone in person, you can always pull a face or something, and there will be a shared context, and you need to think of other ways on-line, e.g. I didn't think your smileys did do the job in this instance.

Except the ones that aren't. My friends street has no designated EV charging spaces. It's just some of the lamp-posts have charging ports on them.
A couple of streets down there are dedicated EV charging spaces, but that's in a street that has way less parking pressure. (Yes, it can be as little as two streets away. By me I'd say that the parking spaces are about 20% full at any one time, 200m away in another road the occupancy is pretty much pegged at full. Same CPZ/restrictions.)

Sex stereotyping has become worse again for many people (it's never gone away but was slightly on the wane, I think, in the late 20th century). It traps them in false virtue ideas of who they should be based entirely on being male or female, quite irrespective of the richness of their personality. It's very superficial, failing to take into account that most people don't conform to the silly stereotypes (males must be strong and dominant, never show any feelings, just get on with leading, being decisive, sowing their oats, going out to be the breadwinners, eating raw red meat, etc., and women must be beautiful and small and round and faithful and caring and entirely preoccupied with cooking, cleaning, and bringing up the children, humble and submissive, weepy and emotional) at all. I obviously exaggerate for effect, but smaller or larger parts of these descriptions are thought by many people to be in keeping with the natural order and kinds of virtue that they ought to aspire to. This then leads to force and violence on the part of men, and other problems. You can also see it in the abuse directed against Kamala Harris for being a woman. As I posted somewhere not long ago, I suspect misogyny is more ingrained than racism.

Yes, same as in my street. I didn't mean 'electric vehicle only' spaces.

Totally. Obviously, in London fewer of the cars in any given street get moved on any given day than elsewhere. My local CPZs are pretty similar in terms of car parking pressure.

You don't even need faith in humanity. People have an interest in making it work. It would not help them at all to fall out with all their neighbours. As @Greenbank says, they will do things like how they've done it in his friend's street.
