How old is B, @originalcatlady? I'm just wondering if she'll be self-isolating anytime soon and if that will include leaving her car where it is or continuing her quest to have 1/2...

TeetotalKoala · 15/03/2020 22:58

Earlies for B this week. This must make her happy.

BecauseReasons · 15/03/2020 22:01

Placemarking. Didn't realise this was still going on but did wonder how it worked out.

GabsAlot · 15/03/2020 21:53

how old is her car op?

Weenurse · 15/03/2020 02:43

Is it sad that every weekend, I settle into my chair with my dog, and pull up this thread first?

DartmoorDoughnut · 14/03/2020 21:38

Ah B, I wonder if she has any idea quite how batshit her behaviour is?! I do feel rather sorry for her husband Grin

Loving all your theories.

We've had the usual run out and move your car three feet from B, as soon as C went out this morning 🙄

The lady in the other recent parking thread (who blocked her own dropped kerb with a 4 ft Olaf toy) built a fort with a bin and a box of recycling cardboard to enlarge the blocked area
Maybe B will be hoarding the loo roll inners to do similar?

TeetotalKoala · 13/03/2020 23:43

Maybe the loo rolls are to build that fort in 1/2 when C moves? Or maybe she's going to TP C's house. And the K's for good measure...

PenguinsOnParade · 13/03/2020 22:25

This can't go on Grin

Also, is it just her and Mr B, how many bathrooms do they have? We're a family of 4 and haven't even bought that many loo rolls. I'm not a hoarder/prepper/panicker though. We just got our usual one huge pack for the month on payday.

Although I'm now picturing her in her pink dressing gown, in a loo roll fort, having Mr B use binoculars through the blinds to watch the parking situation so she can run out to move if she can.

She chose X. And she's Touching.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

Even if he leaves, B can't get into X anyway. Will she have the brass balls to park on Ms drive again?

So, it's early, but these are our starting points...

Strange Car in the newly named Y.
White van in X.
C in 1/2.
D in 3.
Mr K in 4.

So Mrs K will go in the other Y - space for two if you're sensible.

So it all hangs on what white van does. But even if he leaves, she still doesn't get her space as C looks to be in for the night 🍿

@originalcatlady
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You were so right last week when you told me Alphabet street was a never ending saga....can't wait to hear the new phrases after the council persons assessment from B and the usually quiet C! Run up to DSs so you can get a good listen, ok? And report back...oh and I love the thought of the possibility of a self insolation on A S....of course, you do that any way, so no problems for you! But you may need to record all the goings on as there's bound to be a lot of shenanigans going on and we wouldn't want to miss a single word!
Yes! And it's the weekend again! Btw, have you noticed B unloading an unusually large abundance of loo roll from her weekly shop?

Raindancer411 · 13/03/2020 15:58

Yep, any blue badge holder can use a bay. Friend had one put in for her husband as they have a blue badge and she was fold the same.

Longtime · 13/03/2020 12:50

My dad had a disabled bay. They painted on the road plus put up a sign on the pillar at the gate. When he died they came round almost immediately to take away the sign but didn’t paint over the road for ages. So if you see a painted bay in a private road but no sign, it’s no longer a disabled bay.

Mum was also told that anyone with a blue badge could park there so it didn’t guarantee they would be able to park outside the house.

Gooseysgirl · 13/03/2020 12:31

🍿 brilliant!!!

mrsBtheparker · 13/03/2020 11:34

A council worker? Did you see ID? Has someone sent round a ringer to wind everyone up? Does the council read MN? If it's not an authorised disabled spot then they may be told to remove any restriction signs, in which case my money's on B as the grass! More likely to be a carer who's complained about not being able to access A.
Why do I bother wasting money on whodunits?

Tandia · 13/03/2020 11:29

Ooh this could get even more interesting!!

A council official has just visited A and when he left he took photos of the footpath and parking space (where C is currently parked) Grin

Hahaha. If she gets her spot I imagine she won't move for a month. But imagine if everyone else got sent home before her and THEY didn't move for a month Grin

Wonder what will happen if everyone is told to work from home? B will be jumping around moving her car more than usual.

I think @BigFatLiar is right but I do believe L mentioned it to the council. Either way, there's only two people who ever feel entitled enough to use it.

Absolutely nothing. B and D are the only cars in the entire street. Where is everyone?!
