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...

Why do the DM have to ruin everything?

Daily Mail has the cheek to 'copyright' your diagram OP It is most definitely a slow news day for them even with Streatham terrorist, Kate and Wills at the awards, Cronovirus spreading etc.

The bastards!

Can they just appropriate your artwork like that?

Tell them you want money to put in a a dropped kerb to curtail Mrs Batshit.

All the BTL comments are pro-you originalcatlady

The DM are like that awkward person who turns up at a good party and kills it dead. There you are, having fun and some laughs together when awkward person turns up, kills the vibe and everyone drifts away .

We're still here though so keep us posted OP. Don't let them ruin the fun

We are indeed. It'll be old news on DM by the end of the day anyway. Can never understand why they need to trawl Mumsnet for 'news'!

On the other hand it's more entertaining than a lot of what they print in the right bar of rubbish.

Fuck me. Someone has been paid to badly recreate the OP's diagram. The height of journalism.

Haha remember us original followers when your new fans come flooding in op.. Bloody DM. Bless them creating their own little diagram. I bet the writers are secretly following the thread hoping B loses her rag again ha..

Anyway onto more Important things... Let us know when B returns at 2pm can't wait for the update

I hope this isn't the end of the thread. It's been the most entertaining one I've read for ages.

What's the betting that B reads to DM and twigs that she has become a social ledia superstar?

Media, not ledia!

B definitely seems like a DM reader!

Argh, I hate the Mail so much. I kind of feel bad for all the people that aspired to be real journalists and ended up working for such a shitty paper (or website).

But at least more people get to enjoy the Alphabet Street shenanigans so I guess it's not all doom and gloom.

What's the betting that B reads to DM and twigs that she has become a social ledia superstar?

Oooh! Oooh!
Perhaps she'll get in touch with them with "her side of the story".

There could be a sad face picture and everything!

Fucking DM utter wankers ruining our fun humph go and do some proper journalism FFS there’s a fair bit going on in the world right now after all but no you have to come and nab our enjoyable parking thread. Tossers.

I’ve just read all 60 odd pages of Both threads

Mumsnet gold!!!!!!

I was devastated when it ended!!! I wanted to know where b was going to park whilst workmen were there!!!!

It’s nearly 2pm though....

Any minute now.

B has arrived and is asking the OP what is that DM story about...

I love how the shitty DM called OP a "curtain twitcher"; clearly they didn't read the thread or they'd know she has blinds!

Surely you own the copyright for your original artwork...?

Has it been printed in the Newspaper, or just online?

Oh, fuck off DM!

Are the workmen still parked in 1/2 OP? Has B appeared frothing at the mouth yet? Where is our champion Mrs K?
