Yes,
I remember as teenagers in London two of us were asked by a coach driver if we could help 'bump' a car a few yards so that his coach could get round the corner of a square rather than reversing quite a distance.
We readily did as the coach driver asked and it only took us a few minutes.
For a long time afterwards we were amused at the thought of the car owner returning whenever to find his car, undamaged, several yards from where it had been parked without any obvious explanation. :Applause
