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

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!

I absolutely love that newbies to this thread will be utterly baffled as to how it's gone from CFN parking to unicorn costumes in under 500 posts.

KarmaStar · 13/01/2018 18:02

It's an offence to park within thirty metres of a junction.Also to block the highway.
Notify police and local highways department

@UnsuspectedItem

Disappointed that CF wasn't towed, but the police know he is not taxed now! That will to do. Grin

I love your unicorn outfit OP, and I love you too. Grin Bet you are a really great person to have as a friend.

Bless you for entertaining us all today.

I hope landrovercunt steps on lego in the dark later on though - or swallows it and has to shit it out.

Peace. Smile

Oysterbabe · 13/01/2018 18:04

Gutted I didn't call the police on this one now! I didn't think they'd come.

We could do a CF watch, where mumsnetters all over the country look out for THAT black landrover!

"Evil slutty mumsnetter damages car after provocation from snowflake coven of harpies."

I think you'll find that the collective noun for harpies is a "screech". We a infested with the blighters here in Mortificado.

I am on page 4, having got my oar in on P1, but not got back until now. It is very exciting! I think Sarah Lancashire should play the OP when they serialise it for television.

(Plus BummyMummy is legally obliged to marry me, its in writing on the internet forever now!)

Yes - that proposal is legally binding. But I'm sure that Bummy wouldn't want to do anything that would make people lose confidence in the integrity of the internet, anyway.

karategirl · 13/01/2018 18:15

OP, this thread was superb. Simply superb. I hope you have a wild time at the party!

Cheesymonster · 13/01/2018 18:21

This thread has been like mn in the good old days.

Have a fab night op

ChristmasAccountant · 13/01/2018 18:26

Best. Thread. Ever.

Ellendegeneres · 13/01/2018 18:26

Whilst ds watched his shite, this was like stepping into mumsnet of old. Shame it didn’t get towed, but I can die happy knowing that you put so much commitment in op- and marriage proposal out of it, your friends keys rescued, new rules for parking threads established and can officially confirm, you do indeed have the best taste in biscuits.
Topped it off with that brave costume!

I mean... bravo. hat tip to neighbour for alerting you to the situation

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 18:29

I have an Emergency Unicorn question.

I need to go to Tesco en route - am wearing costume, can't take it off. Do I go in proud, unicorn inflated? Or do I flap in with a flaccid steed?

OP posts:
elfycat · 13/01/2018 18:31

No one likes flaccid.

Proud all the way

MadMags · 13/01/2018 18:32

Wear your horn with pride, OP.

Nobody likes a flaccid unicorn.

ChickenDinnerChecky · 13/01/2018 18:34

Go for the full prance OP, you've earnt it!

SimonBridges · 13/01/2018 18:36

I think ‘unicorn costume’ might become a MN code like ‘naice ham’ and ‘pombears’.

gallicgirl · 13/01/2018 18:36

Burslem Tesco?

They'll have seen worse. Wear the 'Corn with pride.

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 18:40

Ashby de la Zouch Tesco.

It's a reasonable naice area so will get Looks

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 13/01/2018 18:41

Have a great night!
