Does parking on a closed road count as a live parking thread? 😁

So they have closed the road I live on to resurface it. It will be closed for the next two nights. We’ve had multiple letters from the council, there have been signs up for at least a month and yesterday they painted NO PARKING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY all over the road.

8 cars are still parked there with 15 minutes to go until resurfacing begins. One of the cars is right outside my house and when I saw them out the window, I tried to explain to the two women (looking like they were off for an evening in town) that they were probably not going to be able to get their car until morning but they told me to fuck off!

The road is lorry central, a guy is taking pictures of the remaining cars… it’s all go here.

Anyone know what they do? Do they just resurface round the cars? Tow them away? Do they get brutal? There’s a fair few annoyed looking men in hi-vis walking up and down! Should I get wine and a comfy viewing position?

😉

The thread is mildly amusing. Not classic worthy or the best thread ever though.

Fuck Off Car Lady? Bold of you to show your face around here.

I've been to that Tesco Shock Didn't there used to be a B&Q on that roundabout. I once carried a 6 foot ladder up to the top of the hill from it.

i read that as BBQ and was suitably mystified as to why there’s be a BBQ happening on a roundabout. Mind you, you could have the BBQ itself in the middle and all the people sat around in camping chairs?

I need to go to sleep

I saw you posting on a thread in site stuff earlier when this thread was deleted by mistake. You gave me a chuckle 😂.

I’m not even ashamed! Worst ten minutes of my life thinking this thread had gone.

I may need a hobby 😂

I used to live near Fanny Hands Lane. Would have much preferred Wibbly Wobbly.

Is that near Minge Lane, in Upton on Severn?

I would so love that to be my address,

Are you sure this is The End of the road resurfacing OP? When the road outside ours was done, we had 'Beware! LOOSE CHIPPINGS' signs up for a couple of weeks then they came back and tarmaced/rollered the surface. So we went through the NO PARKING thing again 🙂.

Loving your work!

MadeForThis · 22/04/2022 22:30

Any mumsneters want to stroll past and get their picture taken? In disguise obviously.

I'm disappointed that you haven't followed the fucked off cars to see where they're being dumped, OP. You could have sent your brother at least.
I can't help feeling that you've let us down 🙁

Actually I'm disappointed that none of the mumsnetters who clearly live about 100 yards from you haven't stepped up to help!

Last car gone.

Bye bye hun. U r wiv the angels now

Don't you mean angles? Also why does it seem like at least 40% of all mumsnetters come from or live near you op? 😃
