I'd look for an empty industrial estate car park myself.

I was not suggesting causing alarm, distress or annoyance! When I was playing in a car park, on the contrary, I helped push a couple of stuck drivers. What would occasion such a notice?

You don't have to be causing alarm, distress or annoyance - all it takes is for plod to decide for themselves that you are and issue the notice.
