Poor E! How dare F and D park across his drive - poor guy.

Naturally B has got 'her' space - she 's working the early shift this week!
BTW am missing seeing her in her Pink Dressing Gown

So. Not quite sure what's going on here...

F left her precious space unguarded. She returned and is now parked halfway across E's drive, for no reason whatsoever. D is right on the edge of his drive too, so he won't be able to get into his drive without asking scary F to move.

B has also returned and is in 1/2. C will be "forced" into X again.

AND Strange Car has edged right up to B in 1

Yes, but is it touching?

I love this thread

harriethoyle · 18/02/2020 17:20

@iswhois also that OP did not do a diagram and thus broke the rules AND has two cars in a one adult household! So she's ALLLLLLL kinds of wrong Grin

iswhois
It's getting quite vicious!!!!

The difference in that thread is that the OP has skin in the game and is making a complaint. The OP here is simply observing with a neutral and amused eye, and there is no personal animus in this thread. That's why this thread is such a joy: no crossness.

So C has gone out and everyone else has returned from work.

We have Mr and Mrs K next to X, B in her perfect 1/2 position, C in 3 AND Strange Car has edged right up to B in 1, slightly in X as it's a teeny car.

And F has gone out. She's left her space open to all!

I hope the van comes back! It seems the van belongs to the person doing up the house, haven't worked out if it's the house occupiers yet and no one seems to have actually moved in properly, just come and go with boxes and do work on it.

My dressing gown is grey and white. Sad

Will be fun if the van is a permanent addition to your end of the street.

Oooh extra thread gossip!

nervousfirsttimer1985 · 18/02/2020 12:12

@iswhois can you post the link? This adds a new dimension to alphabet street!

iswhois · 18/02/2020 11:40

By the sounds of things one of your neighbours has made another thread on here about Mr and Mrs K!!!!!!

OlaEliza · 18/02/2020 11:00

Dod the van leave? It's not the new neighbors'?

Forflipssake2 · 18/02/2020 10:24

Do you think someone has shown B and C this thread?!

Maranello4 · 17/02/2020 21:13

I’m new! Just read the other two threads...LOVE a parking war. Reminds me of when we rented a flat with pre-allocated spaces and mr angry on the ground floor flat would frequently come out and tell people off for receiving deliveries and not obeying the rules Grin

Oh they're all playing nicely today. They each have a space, in the order of their houses and nobody is touching! How very novel!

What's occurring!!!

HopeYouStepOnALego · 17/02/2020 17:14

OMG, just had a complete panic. I went to the 'Threads I'm On' section to find this one and I got the Mumsnet 'Oops...' page and I thought it had been deleted!! Can you imagine how that made me feel for the three minutes it took me to track it down? I was even looking for new threads that were saying "what's happened to Alphabet Street #3".

Feeling calmer now I've found you again Grin.

Omashu · 17/02/2020 16:49

New diagram please @originalcatlady!

Any updates on the new neighbours? Is it their van?! I have to know!!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 17/02/2020 11:47

I suggested she bought a smaller car

Excellent response Mrs B! That's the way to do it.

SallyLovesCheese · 17/02/2020 07:35

Katzia, no, there are more houses in the street to the left of H. OP has said she needs to extend the diagram.

acatcalledjohn · 17/02/2020 00:25

Or this.

acatcalledjohn · 17/02/2020 00:24

I'm imagining the Benny Hill theme tune, especially if this was on CCTV and sped up.
