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!

It's an offence to park within thirty metres of a junction.Also to block the highway.
Notify police and local highways department

I absolutely love that newbies to this thread will be utterly baffled as to how it's gone from CFN parking to unicorn costumes in under 500 posts.

As an aside, I've been here 10 years plus so demand Mumsnet let me post more than 6 pictures in future! Envy

Star StarStar to you OP. Excellent diagrams and updates.

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2018 18:01

I fucking dying. That unicorn!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😂

Absolutely brilliant, OP! Your checklist should be a sticky!

Ahead of you there, my first call of action was to write passive aggressive note.
I follow full MN procedure:

1. Take Photo
2. Write PA note and stick to windscreen
3. Create diagram
4. Post on MN
5. Get validation from MN
6. Call 101
7. Drink Tea

Just superb!

Fantastic thread the diagram along should put you in Classics. I actually went out,first time in a week, missing the beginning. Mention of Mote Carlos had my mouth watering. Had to make do with snowballs ...had to have two while catching up. Have been hiding in craft room pretending ( DH thinks I am cleaning it) to be busy while looking at IPad. Hilarious though I disagree about CF being the handsome one.
I think the police officers left for change of shift and gorgeous hunk policeman is about to arrive. He will want to take down details of the direction driven off to. I do think if only MipMip's video had been posted earlier then you could have done that up the street OP and the CF would have been unable to contain himself and stopped to asked questions then new handsome police officer and tow truck would arrive Simultaneously.
Tow trucks must have been very busy elsewhere.
We had puncture on A74 on a Saturday and a tow truck arrived within an hour and a quarter. My feet were frozen as the grass was covered in ice! The further away from road the more ice and a bitter wind😁 I always carry a blanket in the car (since 4 1/2 hrs on M6 waiting for a helicopter and clearing gear).I had two that day. DH will never take them out now.
Hope you have great time at the party. You deserve it. Would be quite funny if you arrived to find CF car there. You could sound off about prats parking.

How does this get into classics?

MipMipMip · 13/01/2018 17:17

I'm up for that Honky!

KeepServingTheDrinks · 13/01/2018 17:17

I thought it was just me who couldn't look beyond the camel toe. So pleased others were inexplicably drawn to it too.

Enjoy your party, Unsuspected

Wonder if landrover will be back tomorrow?
