I cannot believe you actually did it. Good work. Very proud.

Doha · 15/02/2014 17:26

Just go out for the night and then all day tomorrow.
I think they will keep them parked there until needed on Monday morning---they are taking the piss and l bet they didn't expect the bollards to go up.
Fancy going on holiday tomorrow morning for a week or two???

kelper · 15/02/2014 17:26

Am I the only one secretly hoping bin lady doesn't notice the bollard and reverses into it?.......

talulahbelle · 15/02/2014 17:27

Wish I could see their faces...!

Ememem84 · 15/02/2014 17:27

Yes. Do it. Holiday time!!!

OddFodd · 15/02/2014 17:27

I love the image of your DH posting the note through the letterbox, ringing the bell and then running away :o

Groovee · 15/02/2014 17:28

Look forward to hearing that all cars are gone tomorrow.

MarjoryStewartBaxter · 15/02/2014 17:30

Go MrsDC, go! I am going to be glued to this thread all evening...

Seminyak · 15/02/2014 17:31

Are FuckYouChris and MrsDavidCaruso the same person? I'm assuming they're both to do with the same property, what with the same characters featuring - BinLady, tenants, BIL etc? Sorry for being behind!!

hamptoncourt · 15/02/2014 17:33

So glad bin ladys car is left behind. Riveted!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 15/02/2014 17:34

Bollards sound like the best idea - and it will serve the shut-in people right for leaving their cars on your land!

Oh and if you have a doorbell--disconnect at 8pm otherwise they might just ring it non stop and some ridiculous hour just to wind you up.

PoorOldCat · 15/02/2014 17:36

I am wondering if bin lady might bring the police.

Jux · 15/02/2014 17:37

Oh somebody PLEASE tell me how do those no post posts! Please please please Thanks

Frogbyanothername · 15/02/2014 17:37

sadiacre

It'll be talked about for months...years, even!

BlackeyedSusan · 15/02/2014 17:38

the computer is running slow but now it is responding again and not taking five minutes to post, I am rubbing my hands in glee at the thought of bin lady's head revolving and exploding!

Doha · 15/02/2014 17:38

Don't think police would be interested-they have better things to do with their time, like drinking cups of tea....

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 15/02/2014 17:38

Giraffes, couldn't resist.

Semin, I'm a very different person in a very different place :)

JackNoneReacher · 15/02/2014 17:39

Wouldn't be surprised if binlady rings the police poor but she wont get much joy. What will she say??

Binlady "I've parked my car on someones private drive and now I can't get it out."

They'll laugh.

Morgause · 15/02/2014 17:39

If she does call the police she'll get a flea in her ear when they're told she only had to knock the door and ask for the bollards to come down so she could move.

Jux · 15/02/2014 17:41

Pooroldcat, I wondered that too. Anyone got any idea of what the legal position is?
