If they knew how to park their trains like I do my parallel parking, all of London could heave a collective sigh of relief and stop Minding the Gap incessantly.

This was in front of my house. My 17 year old car has no rear view camera. In the rains, with compromised visibility, I managed to parallel park like the champions.

To be sure, this is an exceptional event.

Here is the problem though. My car is low. And I am old. Getting off to the curb directly was a Herculean test for my left knee!!
