CF parking ?

Arrived home just now to someone parked in my space. Have had to block them in by parking behind them as baby needed changing and feeding.

This hasn't happened before in the 18 months I've lived here!

Diagram is already posted.

Looking forward to when the CF returns 

Keep us updated.

CF parking ?

Bwah ha ha, a parking thread! Saturdays don’t get better than this. Loving the way you’ve not messed around here, just gone straight in for the old blocking ‘em in manoeuvre.
PS Can’t see the diagram either unfortunately, sometimes if posted on the mobile site it doesn’t show on the main site......could someone who can see it re-post it, pretty please?

agedknees · 03/11/2018 16:18

Thanks sneaky. Total cf parking in your space.

X posted with sneaky .....thank you!

Knittedfairies · 03/11/2018 16:19

Thanks for reposting the diagram Sneaky - I couldn’t see it either.

Oldbutstillgotit · 03/11/2018 16:19

@sneakygremlins thanks for that . My night out has been cancelled so I have high hopes that this will keep me entertained until SCD and wine o’clock.

MsJolly · 03/11/2018 16:22

Fan bloody tastic!

DramaAlpaca · 03/11/2018 16:24

Don't mind me. I've nothing useful to say but I do enjoy a parking thread.

mycelialnetwork · 03/11/2018 16:25

Lovely diagram. 10/10 simple yet effective. Well done OP.

TheBigFatMermaid · 03/11/2018 16:25

Thanks Sneaky, I hope your phone is on charge now!

OP, good for you, blocking them in.

EdisonLightBulb · 03/11/2018 16:27

Get the popcorn in, this will be a long one.

CF is currently at neighbours, Tupperware box with Parkin in one hand and a Catherine wheel in the other. They are there for the evening bonfire party, safe in the knowledge that they got to the party early and snagged themselves a parking space........

MyKingdomForBrie · 03/11/2018 16:27

Ooh I'd be so cross!! Make sure you're 'out' when they come knocking!

SneakyGremlins · 03/11/2018 16:28

Phone is charging Grin

MsJolly · 03/11/2018 16:28

Unfortunately you will have partaken of an alcoholic beverage so can’t move your car till morning...such a shame!😉

NicePieceOfPlaid · 03/11/2018 16:30

I do love a parking thread.

AlpacaLypse · 03/11/2018 16:31

Thanks for the repost @SneakyGremlins I'm on a very ancient PC and sometimes photos don't appear, including OPs original in this case (which is still invisible to me!)

Diagram gets 9 out of 10 - very clear - but failure to use cheerful colours or decorate with jolly pictures has deprived it of a full house!

Any sign of CF driver yet?

Heismyopendoor · 03/11/2018 16:31

That is bloody annoying! I would have blocked them in too.

Noodledoodlesandspud · 03/11/2018 16:32

I love a good parking thread! I'll get the popcorn 🍿

usertall · 03/11/2018 16:33

Well done OP. Love a parking thread.

piefacedClique · 03/11/2018 16:33

Yes! Just when I was about to give up on mumsnet because there hadn’t been a good thread in ages, a parking thread comes along! Gin, chilli crackers, tv, parking thread! Saturday night! Done! 🏠🚗🚙

FuzzyCustard · 03/11/2018 16:34

Cheers for the diagram Gremlins.
Your space, your right to park and block them in carry on! (I love a good CF parking thread)

Reaa · 03/11/2018 16:34

Can they still get out of the space with out you moving your car?

Billben · 03/11/2018 16:39

It's a public street why do you think u own the space? Do u know if it's a district nurse seeing an elderly patient. Your the CF everyone pays road tax

After reading the posts properly do you feel like the idiot you’ve just made yourself look like?😂
