Mrs B probably drives more like Edie though

teaandcake19 · 15/02/2020 19:30

Remember Maureen from Driving School - she's got to be Mrs B!

Smiler not Smoker

ASimpleLampoon · 15/02/2020 19:12

I think you should choose who plays you @originalcatlady but I would cast Miranda Hart only because I think she should be the female comedy lead in everything not due to how I imagine you from reading the thread.

BigFatLiar · 15/02/2020 19:11

As a fan of Last of the Summer Wine can I suggest...
Nora Batty as Mrs B
Pearl as Mrs K
Ivy as Mrs C
Edie as ocl (or perhaps Marina)
Smoker as Mr B

Term not her

ASimpleLampoon · 15/02/2020 18:10

Read all three threads today. First day of half her and miserable weather. Joining to say you must cast Diane Morgan or Ruth Jones as Mrs K. Jim Broadbent as Mr B. Julia Davies as C.

Oooh I haven't checked the thread all afternoon - how exciting - NEW NEIGHBOURS and C parking in 1/2.

Originalcatlady new diagram is a must, please!

Across thePond55 we all need to buy these different coloured car and perhaps a board to move them on every time there is an update?
New board game MrsBsPinkDressingGownGame?

RainbowAlicorn · 15/02/2020 16:53

Oooh new players, this should get interesting.

MovingBriskyOn · 15/02/2020 16:35

Laughing at the mental image of those WWII films but with the officers wearing pink dressing gowns over their uniforms

BinkySodPlop · 15/02/2020 16:26

Oooo - like those boards and "pushers" they used in the WWII films!

Letstalkabout6 · 15/02/2020 16:22

@originalcatlady can you do a new diagram please. I'm old and confused 🤷‍♀️🥴

AcrossthePond55 · 15/02/2020 16:17

Well, I think @originalcatlady needs to buy a dozen tiny toy cars in different colours so she can place them in the appropriate spaces on her diagram as the 'parking place waltz' happens.

Then she can post the pictures along with her commentary.

C has vacated the space. B was out before her engine had even started. Watched her drive off...and didn't move her car 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
