I know I'm not being unreasonable about this parking!!! (with diagram)

But I thought I'd share anyway.

This happens on our street a LOT and I just don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate, the gap between the wing mirror and wall isn't big enough for a child to slip through and the car is so huge it blocks pedestrians from seeing whats coming without stepping into the road.
Not to mention that he's parked on a T-junction.

GRR!

True that it's a bad idea to draw attention to your untaxed car!

Eggzandbacon · 13/01/2018 14:16

I'm poorly- this is totally making my afternoon!!!

mateysmum · 13/01/2018 14:15

Only 1 thing keeping you from the Mumsnet Hall of Fame OP - your final "to do" was "drink tea".

No, No, No

MN tradition demands you DRINK GIN

The fact that it is Saturday morning when you wrote the post is irrelevant.

Also, how brass necked is this CF to park illegally when they haven't got valid road tax?!?

CF driver knows it's supposed to be off the road, so they've parked on the pavement.

Seems legit.

GlovesAndHatsAndFloofyCats · 13/01/2018 14:15

Unsuspected damn, it would take me hours to get to Staffordshire in my wheelchair Grin

Sorry! You'll have to marry bummy instead!

LakieLady · 13/01/2018 14:14

Oh, please update us and let us know if they get a ticket.

And what's the penalty for having an untaxed car on the road these days?

yawnyawnyawnyawn · 13/01/2018 14:12

Hope they get in trouble !!! ( reveals nasty streak for poor drivers !) 👊🏻

BlooBagoo · 13/01/2018 14:12

If there was a Mumsnet Oscars then you'd have the award for Best Parking Diagram for sure.

Really hoping the police come soon and CF gets what's coming to them. Grin

Also, how brass necked is this CF to park illegally when they haven't got valid road tax?!? Not like they've tried to be covert, most arrogant in their assumption that they can go unpunished for both misdeeds

If I get a photo of it being towed do you think we'll make it to gasp Classics

(Plus BummyMummy is legally obliged to marry me, its in writing on the internet forever now!)

You've handled this situation perfectly. Please update when the rozzers turn up!

bingbongnoise · 13/01/2018 14:06

@londonrach

How on earth has he managed to be untaxed for a year!!!!

It actually only overdue by 6 weeks. (It was due end of November 2017.)

But it's still overdue. And overdue enough for a fine/bollocking/points on his licence!!!

UterusUterusGhali · 13/01/2018 14:06

God this thread is good.

Gold star, op. Star
Could only be bettered if they got towed.

Really awful for residents tho.

khajiit13 · 13/01/2018 14:05

Awful parking OP love your note

Yellowpokadotbikini · 13/01/2018 14:05

You win mumsnet OP!! This should be held up as an example of what other parking threads should aspire to achieve!!

GlovesAndHatsAndFloofyCats · 13/01/2018 14:04

Oooh whereabouts are you OP? If you're near me I can come round and try and get my wheelchair past - opportunity to both scratch the YPLAC car and take a sadface photo for mumsnet the press

I might also propose to you too

bingbongnoise · 13/01/2018 14:04

Oh I didn't know you had called 101 already sorry OP! Smile

AcrossthePond55 · 13/01/2018 14:04

Fellia · 13/01/2018 14:03
