Well I don't know the ins and outs but I suspect it's to do with mobility - the people collecting him can park at the side of the house so he can get straight into to car if X is reserved only for him.

Today the street is oddly full. B has been in 1/2 for days - it's like she can't move once she achieves it. However, C has returned and parked in 2/3, "almost touching" her bumper, and a Strange Car has done the same in 1, assuming to try as much as possible to not be in X, as there is nowhere else to park.

F is still missing and there is a van parked there. Pretty sure the new neighbours arrival is imminent (next door but one to G).

I don't understand how it can be marked out as a disabled space if it's across his driveway anyway!

The parking in X really grinds my gears... (much like Mrs B at 5am I suspect)

I can, but park in the court as easier and quicker to go to work at 6.15 every morning.
We also fall have our preferred spots in the court 😎

FNuts Oooh, oooh... actually I can! ((Smug)) We cleaned the garage this weekend!

FNuts · 08/03/2020 20:06

Can anyone get in their garage these days?

I posted a link to the Olaf thread on Wednesday, though I didn't mention him by name! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3837189-It-s-a-parking-one?pg=1&messages=100

If A has a garage why does he need a space marked on the street?

WatchOutLurkerAbout · 08/03/2020 17:16

I was here for the original thread but then for some reason got busy. I am FINALLY caught up! I can't believe I'm caught up. What will I do now?!

BinkySodPlop · 08/03/2020 15:48

Ooooo - they should totally use this thread as part of their marketing campaign!

Well I am parking in X and not moving for anyone so there Grin

OlaEliza · 08/03/2020 12:54

I cant wait for the new people to move in.

mrsBtheparker · 08/03/2020 10:56

But where would you park?

1/2, obviously. Make it an overnight visit, stay somehwere nearby in a b an d but leave the coach there.

SallyLovesCheese · 07/03/2020 23:53

Anywhere that annoys the crazy parking people! 😂😂

There should be MN coach tours to sites of classic parking threads! Grin

Hi @originalcatlady
The Olaf parking thread is in classics but has been closed now
The title is "It's a parking one" by @ohcaptain..
It moved like wild fire! Got to 1000 posts in about a week or less
Sorry I don't know how to do links, but hopefully you'll be able to find it if you haven't already. I think ohcaptain lives in Ireland..or else I'd suggest that you two could start up a coffee meetup Grin

Doginahat · 07/03/2020 15:47

Gooseysgirl Yes!!

Gooseysgirl · 07/03/2020 13:31

I'm baffled that everyone is getting away with parking in X!

Gooseysgirl · 07/03/2020 13:28

I think the next thread title has to be 'this is ridiculous. It can't go on like this' 😄

TeetotalKoala · 07/03/2020 13:24

If A went out in the car, then yes, they absolutely should have had the use of the disabled space. Not cool C. Not cool.
