A space taken up by a car is a space taken up by a car.</p> <p>At least the cars that have been there for months aren't moving around and contributing to the air pollution problem. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16605#post-224749 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:58:05 +0000 kaputnik 224749@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like to think of all parked cars as "abandoned". They're all just metal boxes taking up space and doing nothing at that moment in time.</p> <p>So, in summary, "when is an abandoned car not abandoned?" "when it's <strong><u><em>MY</strong></em></u> car". </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16605#post-224735 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 10:20:37 +0000 redmist 224735@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>well-to-do Stockbridge – recently named best place to live in Britain</p> <p>Really ?
