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

That’s hilarious, OP. I wonder if they haven’t cottened on and think it’s just a child’s toy. I’m waiting for the penny to drop.

Has he gone inside to get a miniature tow truck?

For those still worrying about parking grinch’s motives- he is definitely not disabled, he had two perfectly good bays for his one car and parking outside his house does not cause an obstruction, he just doesn’t like it and has told me so.

Update- parking grinch neighbour had just come out and had a look at car, just stood staring at it for several minutes then went back inside. Must try harder tonight to spread Christmas spirit via parking sign.
On a positive note several other neighbours have been out to take pictures and laugh so Christmas spirit in general on the street is good Xmas Smile

This is excellent Xmas Grin

Your neighbours will love it too!

I love AngelOfDeath's suggestion as well.

Can you send a letter to the neighbour from the DVLA saying their car doesn't appear to be taxed and they're going to get a fine.

Eliza9917 · 21/12/2018 09:41

Do your windows overlooking this op?

Will you see him when he sees this?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 21/12/2018 09:25

Do his "doors" open straight on to the road?
What is the problem with people parking there?

Snowydaysaregreat · 21/12/2018 09:25

Lmao that's brilliant

alfagirl73 · 21/12/2018 09:21

I'm loving all the brilliant ideas on here - you lot are hilarious! :-)

Maybe a note from Santa saying that he tried to deliver gifts, but the no parking sign caused a few issues for the sleigh and reindeer...

World's most awesome thread 😁😁😁

HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone · 21/12/2018 08:52

This is simply the best parking thread ever. I decree it be placed into classics so everyone knows the bar at which all future parking threads should be judged against!

Thank you so much for making me giggle like a small child on a grey and miserable morning. Xmas Grin

The lack of diagram is more than compensated for by the photos!

ApolloandDaphne · 21/12/2018 03:31

I can't sleep as I am in pain but this thread has cheered me up a lot.

Gooseysgirl · 21/12/2018 03:23

You should get a policeman puppet from Punch & Judy and lean it against the sign. Grin

Atchiclees · 21/12/2018 01:01

Oh the sheer glee and joy at this parking thread. Xmas Grin Please make a couple of fairy doors out of lollipop sticks or similar to put in front of the sign to represent the doors you can’t park in front of.
