People don't 'need' these SUVs (in the main and especially in the
inner city) but are made to believe they do by the marketing.


They get used for the school run.

Agreed.

Half a dozen yummies take turns
picking up and dropping off each other's children, and so they need
fairly large vehicles to fit them all in.

I've not seen that round here, just one or maybe two kids in each.

A people carrier or large SUV
fits the bill.

Whilst it may be completely coincidental, there seems to be some
correlation between the type / make / spec of the vehicle and where /
how you park it.

eg, Parked up on the grass right outside the school or across people
drives (often even with them displaying signs saying 'Keep clear, in
use 24 hours' etc) will be the SUV's or big BM's, Mercs or Audis then
as you get further away and parked properly on permitted areas and
parking bays, the more ordinary / mundane cars?

There is often the exception to the rule of course.
