I'm at my mum's. she lives on a a fairly narrow hill, you can park on the road but it's best if you park half on the pavement. I'm going camping for the weekend with friends who are coming to pick me up in an hour. I've just popped to the shops for supplies of crisps and wine and some cheeky bugger has parked on my mum's drive.

I've text all my family and no one has any knowledge of this car. Would I be a total arse to just reverse onto the drive right upto their bumper and leave my car there for the weekend? I really don't want to leave my car half on the pavement for a whole weekend. A few of the NDNs have double buggies and there won't be enough room for them to pass. I also don't want to leave my shiny lovely car under the tree on the road cos it will be covered in bird poo and tree sap when I get back.

Mum is also away this weekend too so I can't even leave the keys. Grrrrrr.

BlackeyedSusan · 16/08/2014 18:29

enjoy your holiday, hope all is revealed when you return, which is likely to be when I am away. hoping the update is not disappointing.

Hi all, OP here, but I have been having trouble logging in, so I have asked my mate Beryl if I can update on her account.

So, it turns out that it is quite exciting after all. It seems that the police had been following this car, because the owner is some well known South African 'businessman' and they had suspected him of smuggling diamonds into the UK.

It seems that they had been on his tail, and then he just disappeared! Turns out that he had reversed into my Mum's driveway, and must have got a lift with an accomplice.

So the police have been out today examining the car, and it would appear that a load of tiny diamonds were scattered on the drive and Mum's flowerbeds in the confusion. She will go nuts when she gets back, because they have made a right mess of her hostas.

Meanwhile, I have been having a great time camping. Spent most of last night sitting round the campfire singing GingGangGoolieGoolieWhat'sUp.

Thanks Beryl for enabling me to update. Wink

Oh wow - thanks for the update 'Beryl'! This thread has been MN at its finest Grin

pictish · 16/08/2014 18:39

ooooh! Shock
I wasn't expecting that!

Was hoping for a bit of a punch up actually - but diamond smuggling is good too.

SirChenjin · 16/08/2014 18:39

PS - Beryl's update is a wind-up, right??
