A dopey driver left his Range Rover overnight in a public car park that was turned into a food festival when he went to collect it.
Akif Farooq parked his black SUV in the pay and display.
But he failed to notice that it is used for the popular Urban Food Fest every Saturday.

When he arrived at the Shoreditch High Street Euro Car Park, in Shoreditch, east London, he was blocked in.
Row upon row of colour tables and chairs for al fresco dining had been placed in front of his £80,000 motor.
Customers had already started tucking into the street food.
Sheepish Akif said: “I parked my car in a car park in London last night.
“And it’s in the middle of a big food festival.”

“Oh, my days.”
He added: “Don’t know how I’m going to get out of here.
“But we’ll make it work somehow.”

It happened on Saturday (3 Aug) after it left the Range Rover there the night before, as reported on What’s The Jam.
The food festival opens at 12 noon and runs until midnight every week.
Local, Matty Townsend said: “At least his Range Rover won’t get pinched.”
Wilf McGregor quipped: “Free parking, great idea.”
Another joked: “Get a plate and sit it out.”
Abu Bakar added: “You can’t park there.”
