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

for the and I needed that

I don't think I am actually going to go to work today..............

Been reading the threads since the start and am delurking to say Bravo op!

I am a chronic lurker, but I've just had to post and say that I love this thread, and I think I love you, your dh, and your bil because you're all full of awesomeness.

Yeah for the update! I wouldn't move anything until next weekend give her attitude!

I'm jonesing for another update here too

Is anybody else waiting for the AIBU from Bin Lady about it?!

:-)

Why would you leave fetching your car until you need it? Got her comeuppance there!

Won't you get into trouble for having someone's car trapped?

Yes, I know she deserves it but is there any come back on your brother in law for having his van blocking someone getting their car? He isn't going to get a ticket or anything?

BIL has parked on private property with owners permission. No laws being broken there to warrant ticketing

It's on her land shiver and Bin Lady has parked on her land despite being told that it was her land and that there was a deadline for removing the car.

To be fair Bin Lady has also had a huge amount of notice. She is the one who chose to park illegally and to miss the deadlines because they didn't suit her. I would normally have sympathy but I hate rude people!

This thread is riveting. No sympathy for Binlady at all. She has behaved like a brat and is getting treated appropriately. Maybe in future she will be less entitled.

They can't get hold of BIL so what's OP meant to do? I'm sure if his can wasn't there OP would have used her zapping device and bin lady would have got her car.

Will be interesting to see where they park their cars now and whether this has just started WW3.

There must be an update soon. If she knocked at 7.30 something must have happened by now.

"Won't you get into trouble for having someone's car trapped?"

But her car is trapped while trespassing on somebody elses property though.

Genius.

(I should think that BILs uncle is the local Sheriff here.... )

But I am a bit scared that you lot have resurrected Bin Laden!

Her arrogance levels are unbelievable!

bravo OP and thank you for the best thread ever.

While we await final news of BL's eventual getting her car back, has everyone nominated this thread (and thread 1 of course) for being moved to Classics?

Anyone else concerned?

Hope all is ok MrsD

I think the OP would be doing the Island a huge public service by printing out all 3 threads and posting them through Bin Laden's letterbox. She won't change her selfish, entitled behaviour until she knows how the rest of the world Mumsnet views her.

Presumably bin lady had to go to work some other way!

ah, thanks. I don't know what the law/rules are about someone being blocked in even on private land - eg similar to clamping someone, or otherwise denying exit, iyswim.

I am not defending bin lady. I think she has been stubborn to the point of lunacy on this, and certainly taking out her anger on the wrong people! It is her landlord to blame and to him she should be directing anger, but I wonder if she knows he would simply serve notice? Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

I am more concerned that there should be no opportunity for her to feel as though she had had any sort of victory if she were able to call the police and force action to release her car.

I also wasn't sure whether the OP actually has no way of contacting the bil or whether she was just toying with the angry woman. oh dearie dearie me and a wink would suggest to me that this blocking in was planned.

The best outcome is to simply wave her off and lock the bollard into place and know that she is never going to be able to park there again.

Have just logged onto my mapometer page and lo and. Behold at the bottom of the page is an add for a concrete penguin !

She probably thought she was being clever, 'ha I'll wake them up early'... So rude. It's not like she'd leave her car in a private car park where she could get ticketed or clamped. Why do it on your property??!

Any updates OP??
