Someone parked outside my house when this lockdown started, I wish they would come and move it...

About three inches closer to the kerb, it makes me twitch every time I look at it, if we get snow and something drifts around that corner the car is the first to go.

There you go, a parking one that isn't really a parking one. Grin

Is it taxed and MOT’d ? 😉

Yes, it is. Darn that could have been a whole other thread.

Bugger. Nothing you can do but scowl at it 🤣

I live on the straight bit after a bend, when Jane (lives on the end of the bend) met her now husband and he first moved in I said, top tip, if it ever snows hard shift your car further down the road.

He didn't, in the huge snow in 2010 (I think it was) I woke up and his car was further down the road.

Well someone came around the corner too fast on Sunday morning, thankfully the road was not too busy, but her car is no longer where she left it.

Space has been taken by someone else, they park close to the kerb, so don't make me twitch, so all good. Grin

So you still got a car there, just a different one lol

The car truly didn't bother me but the distance from the kerb made me twitch.

Could you get a couple of bags of stones (I believe garden centres are still open) and a sack of cement and build the kerb out towards the car?
Then you'll be able to sleep more easily.
