Delurking! Brilliant thread!
We're coming to IOW in May on hols and the hotel is in Ryde. Trying to persuade DH to go "sightseeing" :)

onedev · 17/02/2014 18:25

If the car isn't gone by now, please don't be available tonight & tell the landlord it'll be 6am on Saturday morning only (assuming you have little ones who get you up that early!) Grin

Mrsdavidcaruso · 17/02/2014 18:26

Oh dear well that was fun, the last car is gone bin lady came round at 6pm banged on the door. DH went to sort her out and came back furious.

She was really rude and nasty basically saying 'who do we think we are'
and 'people like you think you own the Island' and other nasty things.

So it wasn't very nice

How brazen!

Not the Island - just the specific tiny bit of the Island she wants to park her car on...!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

Fleta · 17/02/2014 18:30

And if only your OH had replied "I think we're the people that own that land. Now shift"

So glad you've got this far

IamtheZombie · 17/02/2014 18:32

Zombie thinks that you should contact the LA first thing tomorrow to let them know that the last car is gone, thank them for their help and report the latest verbal abuse.

Then take a deep breath and start to enjoy your new garden.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 17/02/2014 18:33

"People like you think you own the Island!"Angry

"No - just the bit your car is parked on!" Grin

Joysmum · 17/02/2014 18:33

Of course you own things, you own the land she keeps parking on!

Cheeky mare, especially as her rent has been reduced. Mind you I'd still be fuming if I were the tenants, but at the landlord, not you.

SauvignonBlanche · 17/02/2014 18:33

Nasty, nasty Bin lady!
I was going to offer you Wine then remembered you're PG,so have some Brew.
Hopefully she'll bugger off somewhere else to a flat with a parking place.
You do own the island now! Grin

Morgause · 17/02/2014 18:34

He should have said, "Not the whole island, just this bit!"

EauRouge · 17/02/2014 18:35

Can you gradually buy up the entire island and then boot her off it into the sea? Rude woman.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 17/02/2014 18:36

Wot a caaah!

Smile
SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 17/02/2014 18:39

Bollards to her!

Damnautocorrect · 17/02/2014 18:40

Who do you think you are??! Fucking cheeky cow! The people that own the bit of land her cars on. My dear, you really are angry at the wrong people!!!!
She's lucky you've not charged her £50 a day secure storage for sat and Sunday.

what am I going to do now this threads at its happy ending?!

Farrowandbawl · 17/02/2014 18:40

I would complain about her to her LL. Just to stick the boot in.

You've been more than fair.

Wibblypiglikesbananas · 17/02/2014 18:42

Who does she think she is?!

Well done team Caruso - I'd be very tempted to send her a solicitor's letter re her constant harassment of you...

FryOneFatManic · 17/02/2014 18:46

Wow! She's one very entitled person, isn't she. I would certainly want to complain about her. How nasty.

DH is not normally a wuss but he was not going to upset her incase she has a go at me so he said ( so he told me) look its my property and I want to use it for my family.

He is being a bit over protective at the moment bless him

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 17/02/2014 18:54

Glad we had wine (sorry OP)

What a nasty piece of work Bin Woman is.

'Who do you think you are?'
'I think, no, I know I'm the person who owns this land and has the deeds to prove it. Who do you think you are apart from being an abusive trespasser?'

Initially I had a bit of sympathy with the tenants being duped by their LL and paying rental that included parking they weren't ever entitled to, but that evaporated right away with the attitude this woman gives out. She really doesn't endear herself does she.

HarpyFishwifeTwat · 17/02/2014 18:57

I'd be tempted to rent out parking spaces to every one of the neighbours except rude Bin Lady. What a bitch.

Brew and Cake for you and Wine for Mr MrsDavidCaruso - he sounds a good chap.

shoom · 17/02/2014 18:59

Have you thought of getting one of those security cameras that when activated, records a few moments of video? I hope there's no need, but it might be a deterrent.

Greenkit · 17/02/2014 19:00

stupid lady
