When was the last time anyone left their car parked with side lights on? (Other than by accident after which a jump start was needed)

It's in the highway code as the sort of thing to do when parking on unlit roads at night. Having said that I've never done it and I don't recall ever seeing a car parked that way. The bike also has a "Park" setting that leaves the sidelights on but again, never used it.

Had some fireworks to set off last night but was so windy we could't get any of them lit.

We had some people letting them off in the street. They lit a roman candle right next to someone's car.

I once accidentally left my parking light on on my K3 overnight. Battery was completely dead in the morning. Why have it?

Mrs Brown's Boys. Following on from TV as good as Sherlock the BBC waste my licence fee on this rubbish. It's so unfunny, the canned laughter only makes it worse.
