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...

Shamelessly parking my bin right here to save my space!

socksandshoes1 · 30/01/2020 21:53

Do people not have the bookmark feature? Confused

B simply has to be Linda Bassett. She goes on about her 'motor car' enough in CTM, she's a safe pair of hands for this one.

Danny Dyer and Gemma Collins for the delectable, fearless Mr & Mrs K - "'Oppit, you - I'll park my motor wherever I like, you slaaaaaag!!!"

Lweji · 30/01/2020 21:54

Watching my watch and the thread.

mamabluestar · 30/01/2020 21:55

5 minutes to go!!!

Gogolego · 30/01/2020 21:57

I feel like this would be a great Agatha Christie plot. Someone's murdered because of a disgruntled neighbour and parking. Sorry op if you can't sleep now because of This suggestion

GiveHerHellFromUs · 30/01/2020 21:57

I'm so tired but I know it's going to take B at least 15 minutes to park across one space rather than 2 Grin

Gogolego · 30/01/2020 21:59

Oh and miss marple/ poirot has to park in the street too just to add to the drama & frustration ( in a 1920s vintage car obvs)

GiveHerHellFromUs · 30/01/2020 22:00

OP did Mr K make it home yet?

SallyLovesCheese · 30/01/2020 22:02

De-lurking after reading the original thread live, ready to see what'll happen tonight!

I do think Mr and Mrs K must be super-chilled. If there was a hint of this kind of stuff happening on my road, I'd be making sure I was always home before B! It drives me crazy when people park their car badly so they take up the space of two cars.

Ineedanap90 · 30/01/2020 22:03

Maybe the K's have moved house like the last family who was tired of Bs antics

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:04

I don't think K are fully aware yet 

They still aren't home. Mr B isn't out yet either. Wonder if he'll realise he's meant to move the red triangle before she gets here.

Maybe you could print this OP and sneak it in B's letterbox when no one is looking. Make sure you include the title Parallel Parking for Dummies.

@Ineedanap90 don't kill them off yet! They've not been here two months yet!

AntennaReborn · 30/01/2020 22:05

I was hoping for a new thread, thanks OP!

MrsK · 30/01/2020 22:06

Not sure about Gemma Collins Sausageroll 😏

littleduckeggblue · 30/01/2020 22:07

They have a red triangle in which spot?
Spot 1?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 30/01/2020 22:08

So sorry, Mrs K. Are you thinking that she's far too graceful and demure to play you?

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:09

Mr B hasn't come out yet. She was about to nosedive into 1 then saw the triangle. Reversed angrily and got out to move it to the pavement herself. Is now trying to reverse park into 1.

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:11

She can't do it. She's driven off. Is Mr B asleep?!?!

OP posts:
mummmy2017 · 30/01/2020 22:11

Remember Brian's mum Ivy in Corrie.
She could be Mrs B.

Ineedanap90 · 30/01/2020 22:11

@originalcatlady ha I wouldn't blame them for running for the hills but have a sneaking suspicion they are stronger than B thinks and can't be intimidated. I really hope they make it back first! Or block her in. Maybe that's what they are waiting for... That would be great. When she says they can't do that they could use the famous (famous for this thread at least) line 'but am I touching?' and shut the door in her face.

originalcatlady · 30/01/2020 22:12

@littleduckeggblue there was a hole dug in the pavement on Sunday. Workmen put red triangle workmen signs out on the road. She moves it everyday. They move it back everyday.

TomeOfSomething · 30/01/2020 22:12

@Cheeringmeup why haven't you shared it yet???

Cyberve · 30/01/2020 22:12

Oh I love that she can't park in it. Grin
