First off, the car park. This isn’t just tarmac; it’s a psychological warfare zone. You’ll see a pensioner in a Ford Fiesta execute a three-point turn so slow it creates a traffic jam to the M6.
Meanwhile, a delivery truck the size of a small whale is trying to reverse into a bay that clearly isn’t designed for anything larger than a skateboard. I’ve seen families abandon their shopping trip entirely just to watch the drama unfold from the safety of the pavement.
Surprising fact: The Abbey Park car park is actually built on the site of a medieval farm. Locals swear that if you listen closely, you can still hear the ghost sheep bleating over the sound of a reversing beeper. Probably just tinnitus from the endless tannoy announcements, though.
