Women-only carpark
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/8432887.stm
It got me rolling my eyes until I read this bit:

The parking bays are one metre (3ft) wider than normal spaces, he said.

Oh I love how they say

the car park was meant to cater to women's "strong sense of colour and different sense of distance

that's a lot politer way of saying that a lot of women can't park for toffee.

Re: Women-only carpark
and bear in mind the chinese/japanese have a taste for teeny-weeny cars you could probably fit 2 cars in one space...but it must be that chinese/japanese women drivers are less skilled than their european counterparts who generally drive slightly larger cars

Re: Women-only carpark

Re: Women-only carpark
The thing is that it's actually been scientifically shown that Women don't have the same levels of spacial awareness that Men have - this is why they ( generally) have trouble parking.
Personally I think this is a good idea, I wish all car parks had bigger spaces - might stop me getting so many damn dents in the car doors

I think thats rubbish Rob, I think too many women are pre-occupied with other stuff - you know the way we say we can multi-task?! They don't see driving a killing machine around as a primary role and think we can apply make up, or shout at the kids, or answer our phones or just generally have our minds somewhere else - just my two penneths worth 
I have no problems parking or driving btw  because i have respect for the road and all the other idiots on it

Re: Women-only carpark
Pondering the fact that despite every comment on here I know I pay less for car insurance which is why my husband makes sure the car is in my name..So why the constant carping by men about women's driving and parking beats me..
Mind what can you expect from the Chinese who still regard women as being inferior to men..
