A letter left on a car windsreen has been called 'Britain's politest parking note' - thanks to its almost apologetic tone. The message was left on the windscreen of a silver Suzuki Ignis
It claims the vehicle has been parked up for several weeks - and is taking up too much space. But the anonymous author seems to be at pains to remain polite.
The note reads: "Friendly request. On-street parking in the area really is at a premium. This vehicle has taken up one and three-quarter spaces for several weeks.
"If possible could it be parked more economically in the bay as a courtesy to other road users. It would be much appreciated. I apologise in advance if it is not drivable. Many, many thanks."
A local said: "These windscreen notes are usually quite passive aggressive. But this one is different - it might be Britain's politest!"
