I was out for a drive with my dad one day, and I asked him what the blue roadsign with a "P" in it meant. He explained to me that it meant "somewhere you could stop your car and go for a pee." From that point on I had the notion that car parks, no matter what the size, existed solely so that people could go to the loo.
I also made sure I went to the toilet whenever we parked the car in a car park, so the police wouldn't arrest us for misusing it.
