I work a few doors down from a school/preschool as a nanny. The house has a doubled dropped kerb and double driveway.
I'd dropped my charge off at school and was getting the younger ones into the car when one of the preschool mums parked her huge 4x4 across the dropped kerb of the house I work in.
I asked her politely to move her car as I was going out and told her she can't legally block the driveway. She got quite arsey saying that she was late and there was no where else to park.
Was I being unreasonable to ask her to move??
Was I being unreasonable to report her to the local pcso after school whilst they were monitoring the parking?

The Home Counties are hardly urban though. Urban is what I was talking about....

Can I ask what caused you to raise a six year old thread about parking?

Why the fuck would you bump a thread from 6 years ago? How did you even find it?!

Andrewofgg · 02/02/2018 20:23

Just block your own drive before the school run starts. Leave a note in the window saying it's your own drive you are blocking.

Didn’t there used to be a wee zombie character to show threads were old?
What happened to him?

babyccinoo · 02/02/2018 20:53

Why would a 5yo thread pop up in your email.

Sherbertfizzer · 02/02/2018 21:40

Absolutely no idea, presumed it was advertising trending threads and clicked, there were others but didn't look at them, maybe they were as old. Can't be bothered to even look now. I've asked admin to remove comments so as not to bump this seeing as no point what so ever
