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...

@pritchyx this is excellent - we have double parking twattery on one thread!

Pritchyx · 02/02/2020 12:06

My parking drama is only caused by No16. Me and No20 bitching via Facebook messenger then at our front doors as she was getting her shopping out the car Grin - No16 obviously trying to listen in to our conversation from their front door and heard me say very loudly that it’s actually illegal to drive ANY vehicle if no license is held OR valid insurance and can be prosecuted for it so that it’s my duty to have to relay information to the relevant teams. We heard the front door slam and me and No20 stood there in fits of laughter and very smug with ourselves. I wouldn’t do so because it’s a faff, but may make them think twice about being twerps.

Musical cars of No16 has now commenced. Tempted to wait until streetlights go off at midnight and “borrow” the dust caps off their cars for the inconvenience they’re causing to us [shrugs shoulders].

Will get diagram drawn up at some point for everyone to nose at! X

Shop her!

originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 13:08

Everyone has gone out! Only F is firmly reserving her space.

An hour until my friend arrives...(rubs hands and chuckles).

@Pritchyx absolutely well done for f off and door slam.

Ineedanap90 · 02/02/2020 13:27

@originalcatlady ooo I wonder which space your friend will choose to park in 😉😂

lovemenomore · 02/02/2020 13:46

sunshinesupermum · 02/02/2020 13:50

Everyone has gone out? How very dare they! Hope your friend enjoys watching the to'ing and fro'ing with you when she arrives.

sunshinesupermum · 02/02/2020 13:52

Pritchyx · 02/02/2020 14:02

So everyone who wants to know more about my neighbours and their musical cars - the two cars owned by the grandson are showing as no tax or insurance. I know what I’m off to do now Grin

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/02/2020 14:06

I just had to google what truck nuts are

SO did I Blue

Eeeeeew!

But I think Mrs B would notice, as she seems to spend a lot of time walking round the vehicle(s) looking to see how close to hers they are.

originalcatlady · 02/02/2020 14:07

All the arrivals happened at once here...friend is in 2, Mrs K is in 1 and D is home and in 3. (With his girlfriend so they always order takeaway and stay put till morning.)

Friend will be here until bedtime. It's gonna be a good day (I'll have to tell her about this thread in case of any important updates!)

Shaping up to be a very entertaining afternoon!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/02/2020 14:12

I know what I’m off to do now grin

God speed Pritchyx! May a fair wind follow you!

ImFreeToDoWhatIWant · 02/02/2020 14:18

Bugger just telling her about it get the woman her own account!

sunshinesupermum · 02/02/2020 14:27

Great update OP. Hope Mrs K stays put in 1 until tomorrow morning and your friend can be persuaded to stay well past Mrs B's bedtime.

Pritchyx · 02/02/2020 14:35

@originalcatlady any chance of your friend having too many glasses of wine and having to stay over tonight? Wink

WriteronaMission · 02/02/2020 14:43

your friend can be persuaded to stay well past Mrs B's bedtime.

B strikes me as the type of person who would play martyr just to move her car as soon as the friends gone.

Supertrooper98 · 02/02/2020 15:00

OMG Mrs. K is in 1? This is huge! Where is B?

Supertrooper98 · 02/02/2020 15:02

If K stays in 1 and D stays in 3, B won't be able to get into 2 anyway when friend leaves because she can't park! Fingers crossed. I'd love her to have to park on a different street like the Ks always seem to have to

sunshinesupermum · 02/02/2020 15:10

Great idea for your friend to stay overnight OP. Can you persuade her? What shift is Mrs b on this week?

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 02/02/2020 15:18

OMFG popcorn at the ready.

Gooseysgirl · 02/02/2020 15:39

OMG I cannot WAIT!!!!

TeetotalKoala · 02/02/2020 16:34

Her head is going to explode. This is excellent. Bet she dumps it on Ms drive again though.
