To start a new thread about bollards on the Isle of Wight

[Mrsdavidcaruso]

OK new thread will post on this after 5pm when bollards are up

How scary and nasty. What does he think the police will do? You have asked him to stop parking on your land. He hasn't got a leg to stand on.

What's going on??? i'm an islander and in need of some excitement!!

This is the thread that keeps giving. It's great to read but I imagine it's quite worrying being there so I hope you're ok op.

oh I hope he does call the police, Mrsdc

Would love to see him with egg all over face

twat

I read that as MrDC was going to call the police if the man carried on shouting at him. I may be wrong though.

Antler they only had 2 for a while when she thought she could park outside my house when that got sorted she moved it - although sometimes she would park in her partners space

I spose the thing is that they realise now they've been taken for mugs, & they're clearly the kind of people that should never happen to so it has to be somebody else's fault & they're taking it out on you.

But I'm sure they're smart enough to realise that any threatening behaviour or criminal damage will cause them trouble in the long run

Sit tight

I am delurking, firstly to say I need penguin bollards in my life, and secondly to say I think you've been way more tactful than I ever could have been in a similar position. Enjoy the chips:o

Just got round to googling penguin bollards.....

all this fuss over parking. i sort of feel sorry for them though weren't they told they had parking spaces when they took the lease.

i dunno

i do like ryde though, is the funny dr who shop still there?

Binkie yes DH was going to call the police as he was really shouting

I would phone the police anyway OP on their non-emergency number and let them know that you have had a neighbour spout abuse at you on your doorstep.

At least then, if you need to phone again, it will have been flagged up already. I also think cctv might be a good idea.

South yes it is I used to volunteer in the RSPCA shop next door and we go to the Catholic Church just up from there

Oh yes, I think you are right, Binkie, and it was OP's DH that was going to call the police.

I am delurking to say that I have loved this thread right from the start. Can't wait to hear how bin lady gets on!

Is it wrong to be secretly hoping bin woman sees this thread and comes on here?

They can swear all they like, there's no arguing with a bollard. Heh heh.

i'm glad the dr who shop is still there!

Seriously, you have to engage with their landlord. Those people are all paying for something that you have taken away from them. Without the landlord involved, you are the person they will blame, which isn't fair since it wasn't you that deceived them.

I agree with fairenuff, have been thinking the same thing. OP you could maybe have a word with the police to put them in the picture and explain that things may get nasty/have already got nasty.

"Seriously, you have to engage with their landlord. Those people are all paying for something that you have taken away from them. Without the landlord involved, you are the person they will blame, which isn't fair since it wasn't you that deceived them."
This was all dealt with in advance. The letting agent gave them notice to vacate the spaces and has dealt with the issue.
Fingers crossed there isn't too much aggro, you don't need it Op.

I would feel sorry for them SEA if they weren't being horrible and abusive to the OP.

And I suspect that if they hadn't been such utter gits to her in the first place, she may not have even bought the land. You reap what you sow and all that ...

Actually OP hasn't taken anything off anyone. LL has sold his tenants something that wasn't even his to begin with.
