Parking on an Angle . . . Mono Monday

This is our staff car park. You have to get in by 8.00am or there won't be a space left and then you have to park on the streets outside.  Wikipedia tells me angle parking is known as echelon parking in Britain.  Is it? I haven't heard that term before.  You can see most people reverse into the angle  parks.  I think that's so they can have a fast get away in the afternoon  drive out and avoid reversing down the driveway.
