Speaker 1 (00:01):
I got a lift time with Moira, and.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
We want to know is it right to reserve a
spot when it comes to car parking, because you know,
when you it doesn't matter if you're attending like a
meeting or you're going to the shopping centers.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Christmas annoys me, especially when you're.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Trying to find a park but you may or may
not see one. And then someone standing in the park.
Happened up with Burly in the you know it's all
in the gold Case Bully, where this lady standing in
the park and waving a car away and saving the spot.
So obviously might be a family is driving in.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
How does that work though, Like she she's been dropped
off maybe yeah, may then or she's seen the park.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Like it's in that loop at the top as the
car she shoes past goes and then her one comes
and they both try and go into it.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I Mate tries to reverse in.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
It looks like he's trying to reverse in the gray one,
but the red one cheats him behind and gets straighted.
I can't stand anybody that's standing in the park. No,
And if you're standing there and I want to get
into that park and you're standing in front of me.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
We're going to be there for a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
It's a car park on a person park.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I will happily sit there and wait ye days in
the house.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
But all the patients you worry that if you do
that and prove your point that your car may not
be so safe there, while you leave it there.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I will take down the license plate number.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I remember what you look like. I will be an
elephant with the memory of I would just take everything in.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
It does happen around Christmas as well. I do remember.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
There's been a number of different videos.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's insane.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, where someone's just like no, no, no, no, no, no,
this is my park. This is my park.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, it's not your park. Doesn't get your name on it.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Move.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I'll slowly crouch in there until you have you're sitting
on my bonnet and I will drive you to your destination.
Now I do that, So we want to know can
you reserve spot as this happened to you? Glinn from
Hope Oldn What do you reckon?

Speaker 5 (02:13):
I've been involved in a couple of standoffs. They've always
have always been resolved with rough paper scissors.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
What you throw a rock and then threaten them with
the scissors.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
I've lost, a couple, won a couple excuses association. Everyone laughs.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
That is brilliant. I love that. That is like the
best idea ever.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Spread the word. Spread the word that.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Now it might be something to that.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I like that A lottastic Tina from Chevron Island. Can
you reserve a parking spot?

Speaker 5 (02:50):
That's a hard no from me. You can't do it
if you haven't got someone in the car, Like if
you're driving on your own, you can't get someone out
to go on. Mind, what if you've got little kids,
you can't dump your even say go find mummy apart?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, probably easy if you use ther kids. Yeah, the
kids would be good.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Because yeah, so you're saying it's an unfair advantage, aren't you.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Yeah? Absolutely, I don't think it's fair. If you're driving
around looking for a space. You know, why should someone
who happens to have passengers and let them out have
the advantage of them dipping through all the lanes of
the traffic. You know, you're in a queue, You've got
to wait behind everyone in front of you. Where the
person get out, jump a couple of lanes across and
go here's one.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'll just lay here to your job under my car
checking the oil. Yeah, of course, up, that's where the
oil is.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
From the hot smart of studios in Southport is Moira
