Blocking Road in Rush Hour

[REG]

Whilst trying to work this afternoon I was interrupted by constant beeping of car horns only to find this ridiculous bit of parking, which resulted in cars driving on pavements and more blockage by large trucks!!!! How can I get my 2.5 picture to fit 2MB to show you all????

REG, if you can save the pic as a jpg it should drop in size by a substantial amount. Open up in your favoured package you use to save files, and there should be a save as... option.

Good luck!

Wouldn't it be a JPG already?

Hi, it is a jpg but at 2.51 and not the 2MB as stated - and I cant see how to reduce. I can attach photos just not shrink to size for wol????

Save a copy the photo to disk then use an editor to resize the pixel height and width and save it, that will reduce the space need on disk. I tend to use PhotoScape for most things as it's dead easy to use and really quick, or you could use GIMP for more serious editing.

Resizing images is possible with software on most installations.
What operating system are you using? XP, Windows 7. Windows 8?

So, not about a road block then?

Doesn't seem *that* unreasonable parking, especially if it was only unloading - was this for long? More disappointing is the driver of the other lorry - was it really too narrow for him to get through? And could he really not have backed up a little more out of the way.

You have to feel for delivery drivers in cases like this. I'd have advocated parking partially on the pavement as the least bad option, but that might have rendered the tail-lift unsafe? But then that red car is blocking the pavement... Or is that the ridiculous bit of parking you're commenting on?

I was walking past and heard all the beeping as well. I could not understand why the lorry coming down the road could not get through the gap? he seemed to be the problem, aside from the unloading lorry!
