THE MIDDLE LANE

摘要

A few months back, this column proposed what was widely heralded* as a brilliant and foolproof way to nudge drivers out of their vast, inefficient SUVs (alright, the BMW X7) and into more modest transportation. Namely: repainting Waitrose parking spaces. Massive berths at the far end of the car park, narrowing to tiny spaces near the supermarket entrance, thus forcing anyone with a big car to a) downsize, or, far less likely, b) walk an extra 50 yards to purchase their Essential Kumquats.
