With just hours to go until the shops close for Christmas, we can only assume this motorist was absolutely desperate to grab some last-minute items.

Clearly unable to find a space in the busy car park at Asda's Nuneaton branch, the driver left his/her Peugeot in a TROLLEY BAY.

Staff and passers-by were pictured looking on in bemusement at the bizarre sight.

And the photo had users of Twitter in hysterics, resulting in Asda becoming one of the top trending topics in the UK.

"Apparently someone really wanted a space," said one. "The best supermarket parking you will see today," said another.

"No parking at Asda - no problem, just park in the trolley bay," said a third.

And a fourth wrote: "The lengths we go 2 for a turkey." Quite.
