Alphabet Street...join us for some parking drama!

[originalcatlady]

Started a new thread on the off chance () that something funny might happen in my street later. Maybe around 10pm...

Diagram below for the handful of people in the country that haven't printed it off yet...

🍿🍿🍿🍿
At work so need some entertainment

I didn't print it off, I took a screenshot then opened it in photoshop, added where everyone was parked, then dotted lines to track B's movements and the various cars leaving in the morning!
I have to give you credit OP, the best thread I've had the pleasure of being over-invested in! Your frequent updates are great - it's like a proper live blog 😀

Thank you for putting diagram in your 1st post so it is on every page now!

That's dedication!!

Parking in for the evening

Link to thread 1?

Sounds like something I need to read 😂

Who wants a whole street parking thread? Bring popcorn, it's a long one! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/3808073-who-wants-a-whole-street-parking-thread-bring-popcorn-it-s-a-long-one

Mesopotamia your quote from the last thread that I was catching up on and a teapot

You seem to be mixing up inconsiderate parking with those who prefer a decent cup of tea. Standards please!

Is it really sad that I held off reading the rest of the thread last night so I could sit down tonight and read the rest with a glass bottle glass of wine no I don't have a life

Oh sweet Jesus, why am I loving this so much??? I need to get me a life. I’ve lived in London (parking hell) my entire life and just can’t even begin to wrap my head around someone that doesn’t just consider themselves lucky to find a spot anywhere on their street.

Sesame, Coronation and Ramsey must all be really fucked off.

Because now Alphabet Street is the only one that matters.

I didn't print it off, but I have committed it to memory.

I meant to ask on the last thread - are these marked parking bays? Or just space where people can park and so 1,2,3 is just one long stretch of kerb that can technically park 3 cars due to length?

@thatsmyumbrellaellla I don't think any of us on here can call any of us sad 🤣. This is my life. It's entertained me for years!

Just placemarking for now, will check in properly tomorrow.

Still to come:

What will B's reaction be tonight and will she, for once, be able to park in one spot? Stay tuned and find out

@Curiosity101 yes, the only designated space is X, the disabled point. The rest are just the only places you can park for length and other drives etc.

What is the current parked car status please

Husband has just come to check on me while I do the bedtime settle with the baby. He had fallen asleep in my arms 20 mins ago but was enjoying reading this too much to move him to his crib.

Can anyone summarise the outcome of the last one? Last I remember the evil old bat (I forget the letters) was fuming behind her net curtains

It's been a quiet night. We have the two Strange Cars our of shot next to X, C is in 2, D is in 3, F hasn't dared to move from 4 since she reclaimed it.

Also M has guests.

@originalcatlady Thanks for clarifying
Imagine sneaking out with a road painter in the dead of night and painting the bays on the road... I wonder what B would do then...

And also I second @polkadotpj anything interesting on the parking front this evening?

The Dance of the Cars

Where are the Ks? I assume B not back until the end of her shift at 10pm.

@originalcatlady I actually got quite excited tonight when bil dropped dd off and parked briefly outside ndn house and said I heard your neighbour shout someone's just parked right outside our house- he couldn't be persuaded to stay longer so I could start my own thread

Where are Mr and Mrs K ? I really really want one of them to park in 1. Have they ever parked in 1 before?

If C is in 2 does that mean B is going to get super huffy that she can't line up with her front door?
