Not how to park!

For a certain company (who for matters of diplomacy will remain nameless) who uses black caravelles to ferry clients around resort, the season didn’t start too well. Apparently after only one day on the job it ended up in the above state. Seems after parking the car someone didn’t fully engage the hand brake and after 45 minutes a mixture of the earths gravity and the roads gradient started to take effect. As it rolled off the road it came to rest on it’s side. At least none of their signage is visible in the photo.
So for everyone here is the enquirers quick guide to parking your car on a hill.
1. When applying handbrake make sure it’s pulled to it’s upmost position and clicks in place.
2. Depending on which way the vehicle is pointing it should be left in 1st or reverse gears. (if it’s a manual box)
3. As an added precaution the front wheels should be left pointing towards the kerb.

Le Ski lock-in at the Boulotte.

Marcus(le ski) went into the Boulotte for a quick demi mutzig. One turned into two, which turned into several more. At the end of the evening Katie looked around the bar and seeing it was empty proceeded to close up. As she cleared the tables she saw a le ski fleece left in the corner. Presuming that Marcus had left it behind she locked up the bar and waited for the phone call the next morning. Sure enough Marcus called the next morning to be told by Katie he had left his fleece in the bar. Marcus replied that actually HE was still in the bar and had been locked in the night before and could Katie please let him out so he could go to work.
