Arrived at B and B yesterday with 2 parking spaces at the back down a narrow side path. Parked temporarily blocking the 2 parked cars in while getting my suitcase out and told I could leave my car there (the on street parking is resident only) as the two cars were not going anywhere until Sunday.
Yesterday evening noticed I too had now been blocked in.
Woken up this morning at 8 by the owner of one of the cars I was blocking in asking me to get up and move my car. I threw some clothes on and went downstairs, however, the owner of the car blocking me in was nowhere to be found. The B and B proprietor even went into his room - which I thought was illegal. Proprietor then said that some guests are totally selfish and that wasn’t his fault! No idea, however, what blocker was told about when cars might want to move.
Person who knocked me up then decided he’d go into town to buy some baby supplies and would be back at 9-20. So I was stuck unable to go back to bed or even in the shower. The other blocker finally answered his phone was some way away going for a beach walk but agreed to return. When the blocker got back the b&b owner didn’t even tell me straight away, it was the owner of the second car I was blocking in (not moving til Sunday …) that came and found me as they wanted to get out. They had been told don’t park on the road you will get a ticket.
It’s like Fawlty Towers I’ve now been given an in street parking ticket - I’d have paid for one if it had been offered on the first place - but am thoroughly grumpy and over-tired.
Surely this rant is not unreasonable.
