A friend of mine who doesn’t wish to be named, so I shall just give him the pen-name of David Vidler, often criticises my parking. This is in spite of me pointing out that the lines on the road are only parking suggestions.

Well Mr Vidler Portugal takes the parking cake!

The first is my all time favourite – quadruple parked, on a corner, next to a pedestrian crossing, in a no parking zone!

A solution for spots that are a tad squeezy.

Chorizo – “Where are you parked?”

Vasco – “I got a great spot right in front of the markets, you can’t miss it.”
