I'm surprised she hasn't started leaving things ( or Mr B himself ) out to mark her spot. When I lived in an area with on street parking people did this all the time. It was annoying when you came home with a full load of shopping and ended up parked 5 houses away but it is what it is. Couldn't bring myself to get too worked up about it!

I'm sure Mr B is getting it in the neck for not checking the origins of Strange Cars. Or for protecting her space when she goes out.

Next move...
Cones.

(Or Mr B in a garden chair)

I'm intrigued by C...

Gooseysgirl · 27/02/2020 11:48

Mrs B is the ultimate in CF-ery!!! I can't believe M had to ask her to move 🤣

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 27/02/2020 11:44

I am utterly addicted to this thread.....

MzHz · 27/02/2020 11:16

She remonstrated with M while parked on M’s own drive??

Wow.
Bare faced cheek of the woman

Ooo M doesn't sound happy. B has managed to change out of her dressing gown to go and tell her how there are no spaces, same speech about ridiculous and having to stop blah blah.

M asked her to move to the space that's free now GrinGrinGrin

B is now in 3. It looks very strange.

I think there's something going on with this thread. It only shows up in my "watching" menu not my "I'm on" menu even though I've commented several times

Lweji · 27/02/2020 09:22

Who else thinks New Car was working with C?

@BruceAndNosh I don't need to. I actually think in numbers and letters whenever I see them now Blush

Well done C!

sazzle27 · 27/02/2020 09:18

I can see the smoke from her anger from here!!

Noooo.....

D went out, but obviously that space wasn't good enough for her, she was still watching New Car.

Which drove off as C arrived home...who is now comfortably in 1/2, as she can park in a nano second.

Oh my god I thought you'd been deleted!!!!! Had to find you via the 2nd thread link cos searching took me to an oops page! Hmm

Congratulations on the classic thread move.

Has new car moved yet?

Letstalkabout6 · 27/02/2020 08:11

@originalcatlady

I wonder how many months before it stops being "ridiculous" and she just gets on with life?!

Hopefully not too soon or this thread will stop. Grin

She inspected the New Car and did her usual rant about how it's getting ridiculous and how it has to stop and where is she meant to park.

Lots of shouting and waving arms to Mr B about who it was and where they were and how long they had been there 🤣

Oooo what did B do once she revved her way into M's driveway (which I still find beyond CF) did she inspect the strange car? Eye up any houses to bang on the door of? You would think she would make it a priority to learn to park

@BreakfastAtSquiffanys they aren't actual spaces and if you're a stranger and the street is empty then I don't think it's obvious. Also, Next Street Car is big. Actually big, not B's idea of big.

They are still there currently.

Ahhh my post didn't send!

We had lots of 1st gear revving and then she stormed into M. There was no way she was fitting into X!!

M will have been in bed so there will be a conversation this morning Grin

I wonder if Mr B gets into trouble for just shrugging when she wants to know the owner of all these Strange Cars?!

HelloBambinos · 27/02/2020 05:21

Op let us know you're okay and that B hasn't harmed you in some mad rage because someone was in her precious parking space Shock
What an earth happened last night? Did stranger from next street and B have a showdown? Was there a fluffy pink dressing gown? We need to know!? Grin😂

I wonder did Mrs B storm over to 'next street' person's house and demand that they move their car??? 🍿

OlaEliza · 27/02/2020 00:57

What happened yesterday?

Where are the new neighbours?
