Been watching some on My 5 on catch up.
Apparently on average we spend 2 days a year looking for a parking space.
Not me. I have allocated parking if i bother to go to the office (Town centre)
At home i have allocated spot in the garage and can even lock the gate into the street

I think that is an overall average mate, it's the ladies taking on average 2 hours to actually park each time that skews it upwards.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

I wonder if they are consecutive days?
Not me, either. I never go anywhere!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

When I was away for a few days in Dorset last month finding a space wasn't a problem, it was paying that took ages! I don't tend to carry coins these days and none of their machines took cards, so it was down to loading an App I'll probably never want again.
Coupes because stunning!
