‘Cue Boy’ Jimmy White annoyed shoppers yesterday when he popped into Epsom to pick up his dry cleaning, leaving his car parked on a double yellow line.

Simon Mayston contacted the Epsom Guardian having captured the snooker player’s car parked on Epsom High Street.

He said White, who lives in Epsom and is known for his distinctive number plate, not only parked up for five minutes on the lines to collect his dry-cleaning, but before that had mounted the pavement.

Mr Mayston said: "Jimmy White was driving down the High Street through Epsom and then pulled over and mounted the pavement just after the traffic light crossroads at Waterloo Road.

"He proceeded slowly along that top bit of the High Street, and parked outside the dry cleaners on the double yellow.

"He got out to pick up some dry cleaning and then drove off - probably there for no more than five minutes.

"It just irritated me that he parked on the pavement, particularly as we - that is myself, my wife and my four-year-old son - were walking along that stretch of the pavement.

"My son was riding his scooter, and we had to make sure he got out of the way of the car.

"The number plate is recognisable. Jimmy White lives just up the road by the station.  

"It would have irritated me whoever the driver was."
