It can't go on like this!

Where did C park when she came home from the school run?

BigFatLiar · 09/03/2020 18:04

Exciting...
however all these cars - it's getting ridiculous and it has to stop and where is B meant to park.

@BruceAndNosh yes they would have to park in other streets, which are also increasingly rammed, hence our quite new frequency of Strange Cars.

Ohhh well we have some time yet...but it's a mess...

Mrs K is in 4.
Which meant that new neighbours had to park in 3. But didn't make a very good job of it. Which meant that D had to park in 1/2.

Strange Car and Mr K are by X.

Which means that if it stays as is, there is no space for B, C or F Grin

Where did the strange car owner live?!

BruceAndNosh · 09/03/2020 15:46

Where do people park when Alphabet Street is "Full"?
Is there more space a road or two over?

sunshinesupermum · 09/03/2020 14:53

So. She found the owner of Strange Car by knocking on all the doors and harassing everyone, until she found them and told them they had to move as they had blocked her in. Huff, rev, screech and off she goes. Continues at 10pm 😉

It's like everyday here...2 cars in a space for 3!

OP posts:
BruceAndNosh · 09/03/2020 13:35

Well, it's B's fault for parking in 1/2 and leaving a gap between her and X. Just inviting someone to squeeze in there

We have on free (one hour) street bay parking in my large village. Just long bays, not subdivided.
The Council have worked out how much generous space to leave on either side of drives etc, so I get really annoyed when someone parks 4 feet from the end of the bay, wasting space. Then someone does the same at the other end of the bay and the result is 3 cars in a bay that has plenty of room for 4...
