to think my neighbour was BVU?

[haventkilledtheorchidyet]

Neigbour rang my bell to ask whose car was in my driveway. The car had previously been parked by my (admittedly a bit dozy) godson blocking her driveway for approximately 20 minutes before I realised he was parked on a single yellow and told him to move it before the parking wardens ticketed him. At no point didI see his car (actually I thought he had walked to my house) as we have high hedges.

Neighbour told me she had called the police! Something about having children to pick up/deliver somewhere.

I checked with another neighbour, and she hadn't rung his bell to ask about the car before calling the police, and she didn't ring my bell either.

Was she BVU or have I lost all perspective on the role of the police?

According to the police (parking wars in my old street, with fist fights and everything ) it is illegal to block a car in a driveway and preventing them leaving (so technically a police matter) but not to block an empty driveway.

So aye, your neighbour possibly overreacted but she wasn’t wrong.

I'd do my nut if I couldn't get a child from school or missed an appt because some dumb fucker had parked across my drive. I'm on her side, although I would have asked my neighbours if it was their visitor first.
