To block this car in...

[Misssss]

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.

Careful of the thread will fill up before op gets back.

No

update

yet?

I hope she hasn't been devoured by a sasquatch.

When did she say she be back from camping. Did she leave her car blocking the alien car in.

OP, wherefore art thou?

sweary - you do realise that wherefore means why, as in the most famous example "wherefore art thou Romeo?" meaning "why are you are a Romeo? What does it matter that you have the name of a Montague when I am a Capulet?"

I didn't know that DadDadDad.

Indeed, DadDadDad, hence "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

It's commonly misunderstood Beryl, lots of people think it means 'where are you' Romeo.

Well, you learn something new every day.

When's OP due back ???

I can't belive I rtft and no update.

This thread has everything! Who knew a simple parking thread could include Shakespeare too! I love it. I hope there's a good ending too, even though the diamond idea would have been interesting!

Ive lost a large part of my weeekend refreshing this thread.

Three more pages and there will be no room for an update.

Just sayin'...

This thread is doing weird things!
Iv saved it to my watch lists 3 times now and it just vanishes

So I'm marking my place

Groan, I just read 696 posts for nowt

.

(I can't remember which is the least annoying for those who only want to read the significant updates, so I've put both)

Nanny Ogg, don't worry, there are 12 more pages to go yet, room for just over 300 posts.

And I expect OP will say, oh yeah, turns out it was my mum's mate's car. She forgot she said she could leave her car there this weekend whilst she went on the train to Edinburgh.

Or summat.

Still nothing???
