One of my favourites too.
"Today is international park(ing) day, when activists reclaim parking
spaces and turn them into mini green parks.
Hooray, one of my favourite days of the year: International Park(ing)
day. This glorious anti-car festival only started in 2005, when a San
Francisco-based group called REBAR decided that they would take over a
parking space for a day and turn it into a park. So they did.
They brought along some astroturf and a bench and a tree and fed the
metre all day long and had a lovely day with people asking what they
were doing and why. As one of their members explained, they re-
interpreted a parking space as a potential inexpensive short-term
lease, and decided that it didn't just have to be for cars: the day
was a success.

Would that be a metric metre or an electric meter ?
LOL When Luhgless copied from the Graunie he copied their
mistakes as well.

In order to be applicable and have some relevance to the UK then the
stupid protest whould have a presence in the UK. Reporting on something
that happened in San Francisco where most of the population are whacked
on drugs, religion or simple self-righteousness has no relevance to the
discussion of transport in the UK.
