CF allotment thief part 3: The ‘plot’ thickens and auditions begin for the west end musical

[YaMuvva]

Just creating one now before t’other fills up. Will post updates when I have them

do you think op made the scenario up in order that she could then turn it into a comedy? If so, I’m still on board with it!

Og so it's deliberate gullibility?? Erm.... congratulations?

At this point, I don't care if it's made-up - I'm here for the casting and the punny song titles!

Hopped on thread 3!. Really hoping your solicitor will do his groundwork, stick to the boundaries, and get to the root of the problem. He/she needs to weed out Barbara, call a spade a spade, and tell her to fork off... No tears will be shed, and the result will be fruitful for the OP :)

If we're now casting a musical then my votes are for Hannah Waddington as OP, Ball or Boe as DH, Imelda Staunton as Babs and Elaine Page as Stella the Seller.

Who cares if it's made up but we know it's not because Babs did her own thread it's still fun!

Why are certain posters trying to ruin this amusing, lighthearted thread that the rest of us are enjoying?

Too invested to abandon this saga now!

Fun sponges.

In an ideal world if Barbara was amenable I would let her stay till the end of the summer on the condition you can also come down and use the allotment and take over some of it. She can’t possibly have planted every once of soil yet. It’s only April.

Obviously we have established that we have a situation that is a cross between Breaking Bad/The Gentlemen/Any British film with Maggie Smith, but do you think the ex owner is involved? It’s quite important for the casting.

I do not understand the grumps on this thread. I’m still team plausible because - amusing writing aside - it is reasonable. ‘We bought a house that during conveyancing was revealed to include a separate garden space (which there are lots in my home town up North), on visiting the space someone has been using it and is cross we don’t want to let her stay, what shall we do?’ So far so boring. Equally I don’t get the support of the squatter - she knew she was squatting, must have known the property was being sold and now the jig is up - too bad but she’s had a good run. Would everyone be so tolerant if it was a parking space she’d been using?

Really from now on I think any action needs to be considered only in terms of how it furthers the plot.

If you think it's all made up, you don't have to be here.

Good luck with the solicitors on Monday OP.

Would everyone be so tolerant if it was a parking space she’d been using?

Of course they wouldn't. Parking spaces are at the very top of MN's "it's mine, get the hell off" hierarchy of valuables. Land people actually own, it would appear, not so much.

What if the parking spot had a Babs in it?

Why do people bother coming on a thread to tell us all its a made up story?
Even if it is I'm loving it. 😻

Cracking up at “have you even got any seeds yet?” from the last thread.

I'd be wary of Babs, she's giving me Sweeney Todd vibes but with garden tools instead of razor blades.

Following! This thread is gold!

You've read both threads and think adverse possession hasn't already been mentioned umpteen times?

I think that was a joke.

Pulling up my deckchair waiting for updates whilst I sip tea from my Stanley cup…
