Quite a precise message.

This was on the old Island 2000 Trust garage up along the Forest Road, sadly now demolished and gone forever.

I'm so glad you took a pic of this! I wanted to do so before it was demolished, but was too late.

Oh, and perhaps now I can admit that I did once park there, and nobody told me I could. I've been worried ever since...

You made me laugh. Reminds me of my time in SF where parking was a huge deal to everyone with the red curbs. I would have loved to see this casual approach.

A similar sign, seen on a trip to England several years ago:

It says:

"If you must park here, blocking our doorway, please leave your car unlocked. It saves us having to climb over them."

It was in the alleyway behind Kettlewell church, where some scenes of the movie "Calendar Girls" were filmed.

i would travel a hundred miles to take a photo of these doors, luckily you saved me the trouble plus the enormous disappointment i'd feel when i'd discover they'd been demolished.
