I know I'm not being unreasonable about this parking!!! (with diagram)

[UnsuspectedItem]

But I thought I'd share anyway.

This happens on our street a LOT and I just don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate, the gap between the wing mirror and wall isn't big enough for a child to slip through and the car is so huge it blocks pedestrians from seeing whats coming without stepping into the road.
Not to mention that he's parked on a T-junction.

GRR!

(Obligatory Mumsnet diagram provided)

Your mum is brilliant!

Now don't you have a sudden need to visit your neighbour for a cup of tea and a better view of the action?

I'm up to 30 a day

So am I, wonder if it has something to do with ow long we have been here ?

Sounds fantastic

Good for your mum, can she walk past and speak to them on the way back ?

MadHugger... would like to think so as I've been here since dinosaurs roamed the earth

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing diagram

I think I'd have the rage if I opened my front door and met the arse of a land rover!

Rousette it can't be the real one! Just something Colin Firth-y.

The tow truck driver will be the love interest I reckon.

"I've been here since dinosaurs roamed the earth"

I've told you a million times 'don't exaggerate'!

OP, I'm a police officer and I'd have snapped up a hot beverage and most of your biscuits

But Mad we need the man that OP is going to fall for, to be blemish free! No baggage with an unpaid bill, that will not fit into my scenario not that it's anything to do!

Tired are you male, straight, single, in Staffordshire, and on duty right now by any chance??

ohh good grief, a cliff Richard video just popped up on he late night music show. Wired for sound

That takes back memories.

Ah, good point Rousette.

We can't have a lapsed disc in our romance.

It's back to Angry Man, Gentleman Pickle, or Tow Trucker so.

They always tow away uninsured vehicles on Traffic Cops.

for OPs mother.

What a thread. Dog wondered why I was laughing. It was because of:
Angry man: Its a disgrace. Thank goodness you are here, pickle officer. There was the most ravishing woman here who was being inconvenienced greatly. If only I could find her again [flicks dark mane of lustrous hair, deep brown eyes flash]
Pickle Officer: [looking suspiciously jealous] I think you'll find we have that covered, sir. Thank you and goodbye.

See, this is another difference between Americans and Brits.

We'd all be outside sitting on our porches or standing around in the street in little groups offering suggestions to the police gawping. None of this curtain twitching or dangerous chair standing for us. And the police would already have called a tow truck. None of this namby-pamby trying to find the owner shit.

Maybe that's why we're never fortunate enough to be able to start good parking threads

Placemarking.

Superb thread! I have nominated for classics on grounds of quality of

Diagram
Pics
Reportage
Biscuits

Shamelessly place marking. This is a truly magnificent thread. OP you are a God. Classics for sure.

This is the best thread ever.

Do we actually know if a tow truck is on its way? It just occurred to me that we are all ASSUMING it's on its way, but that hasn't been confirmed.
Op is it worth calling police back and ask them if there is an update??

I'm actually scared 😨 of losing this thread! So shameless place mark.

Tow-truck man sounds promising.

Perhaps more Colin Filth-y than Colin Firth-y...
