The sign glows in the dark. It is rather large and looks awful.

Not if she goes in disguise. Santa, the grinch, Santa dressed as the grinch, balaclava.

If you’re amazed at that Iamtheoneandonly2018, they also do boy and girl characters in a wheelchair.

Or you can have these.

I'm going to be a bit of a misery guts and suggest you don't escalate the sign decoration at this point. You got away with it free and clear first time, but every stealth outing increases the risk of discovery. Maybe others in the street will be inspired to follow the example, though, that would be excellent Smile

What about an elf with a placard saying 'not all disabilities are visible'
Would love to see your neighbours reaction / be a fly on the wall!

Iamtheoneandonly2018 · 21/12/2018 17:23

Wow! At the Lego mobility scooter! Looking forward to the updates. Great thread!

Oops. Sorry about all the spelling mistakes.

BeautifulPossibilities · 21/12/2018 17:01

I've the paroing idea Grin

PositivelyPERF · 21/12/2018 17:01

You could draw a tiny hopscotch game and put a tiny figured on it.

Then a turn it into a tiny disabled parking space complete with a little badge over the NO part on the sign.

Complete with Lego mobility scooter. 😁

Notnowok · 21/12/2018 16:26

No parping auto correct and wear gloves finger prints and all that.

cheesywotnots · 21/12/2018 16:24

Is the no parking sign to stop people parking in front of it or in the parking bay, does parking stop people getting in and out of the parking bays.

Notnowok · 21/12/2018 16:21

Hilarious well done!
Yes to 'parking
Also like the idea of changing no to now as your finale when they think it's all over after Christmas.

Figmentofimagination · 21/12/2018 16:10

SantaClauseMightWork · 21/12/2018 15:46
