It's so boooring! No one is going anywhere or moving their cars. C just comes and parks in X every night and goes again.

A seems to have caught up and has started wearing a mask to polish his doorbell each morning so I don't think he'll be confronting anyone for a while.

@originalcatlady
For AS to be so quiet and uneventful it must be post apocalyptical!
How are you coping without your daily blind-peeping entertainment! ? Isn't it about time for your daughter to practice her parking skills? I'd have to say that is a VERY essential endeavor for Mrs.Bs future mh! And all the residents of AS Grin

purplecorkheart · 11/04/2020 14:10

I wonder will the ks host anymore parties.

PotterHead1985 · 11/04/2020 12:54

Post-apocalypse!! Grin

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 10/04/2020 23:15

So on the street who are the key workers - I.e who is in and out at odd hours. Interesting parking. And who are the home workers and the car hasn't left the street for weeks???

Ditto especially with seeing if people keep doing social distancing or "pause it just for Easter..."

Weenurse · 09/04/2020 07:45

I will be interested to see what happens over Easter

Nothing exciting at all.

I'm sure the thread will resume post-apocalypse.

Any update? Any more post its? Have the k's held more parties? I really miss this thread

@originalcatlady
Are you sure it's Mrs.B?
Our Mrs B?
Well, that's a pleasant surprise!
Wonder where Mr.B was?

zombiepara · 04/04/2020 23:27
Hmm

Well, oddly, Mrs B is the only one participating, very enthusiastically!

@originalcatlady
Just wondering how the clapping for the NHS is going on AS?
Everybody participating?
Nobody participating?
Those participating trying to shame those who aren't participating?
It would be a good time for everyone on AS to get a good look at each other......I can only imagine that C would be locked in her car listening to music instead. Mrs B would be saying "this is ridiculous ", the K's wouldn't be out front because they were having a mass of friends over for a back garden bbq, Poor Mr.A would have his post it notes out ready to get down to business and of course originalcatlady would still be peeping through the blinds so she could report all the details back to us. Oh and the van man would be telling Mrs B that it's fine 'cause they aren't touching.
There have been lots of mixed reviews on other threads....the best I've heard is that although the NHS workers appreciate the thought they would have liked it much better if all the clapping and fireworks hadn't awoken them from their hard earned sleep.
God Bless the NHS workers and all the other essential workers. Praying that they will have a hedge of protection around them.

I don't think A would know how to do that but it has been reported.
She always sits in her car playing music at night 🤷‍♀️

I've had my income massively reduced but we'll manage. Home schooling my two but trying to keep spirits up, making the most of time together and getting jobs done. So nothing that no one else isn't feeling. Thank you.

Wow c works in care? Hmm so she helps elderly? That sort of care? Because if so that's a bit ironic.. As a disabled person myself I officially brand her as a cockwomble. Has B left at all? Or is she sending Mr B out to the shops? Also how are you doing at the moment op? Is the lockdown impacting your family much?

Raindancer411 · 02/04/2020 03:34

Why doesn't A report her for parking in X? (It's the disabled bay, isn't it? I losing track lol)

Forflipssake2 · 01/04/2020 23:08

@originalcatlady C is just sat in her car playing loud music??

Original poster
originalcatlady · 01/04/2020 21:49

Hahahaha yes she is in X. She sat playing music for about 40 mins - pretty standard. A didn't manage to catch her - he struggles to walk so he wouldn't get out quick enough once she left the car.
B is in 1/2. No one else has moved apart from the odd shopping trip. Everyone is where they belong.

OP posts:
Tandia · 01/04/2020 21:40

Did she eventually leave the car? Did he manage to accost her? Is she still in X? Has B been in 1/2 all week? So many questions!! I've missed alphabet street!

@originalcatlady
I do believe you have the makings of a very entertaining book! It could be in the humour category or in the Sociology category📔📕📗📘📙📚📖.

Sissymate2 · 01/04/2020 21:22

@originalcatlady.
Mr.A keeps knocking on Cs car window and she just sits there and ignores him!?....This cannot be happening.....Are you sure you aren't just in some isolation delusion at the moment and imagining this scenario?
But, alas I must believe it is 100% true as you warned us weeks ago that you NEVER knew what was going to happen on AS. 🤣🤣🤣🤣✊✊✊🚗🚘🚙.
I would love to know where C gets her resolve to ignore the knocking though. I want to be able to have that ability. It would come in quite handy when someone says something idiotic so I could just ignore them.....but, noooo, I have to always answer back. I want to be able to ignore them like C!!!!
Keep posting @originalcatlady
You are the highlight of my day! Hope you and your family are all holding up wellFlowers

shouldhavecalleditoatabix · 01/04/2020 20:16

C sounds like a bit of a bellend...
