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!

True that it's a bad idea to draw attention to your untaxed car!

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 14:18

Police are here

Graps the popcorn....op keep updating

Maryz · 13/01/2018 14:19

That was quick. I've never seen a MN thread where a 101 call actually led to police arriving Grin

MadMags · 13/01/2018 14:19

Ah, the escalation of the neighbour stealing the car keys would have been magnificent. However, sometimes simplicity is best.

You do realise your entire life needs to come to a grinding halt now, so you can update in real time?

So, none of this "okay, I'll come back later if something happens" nonsense.

You're so close to Classics!

Either marrying me or a pickle officer would cement it in classics for sure.

MadMags · 13/01/2018 14:19

x-posted while the police arrived!!!

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2018 14:20

POLICE! Grin

c3pu · 13/01/2018 14:20

I'm hoping they carry out an extra judicial execution of the driver in the street, rather than the usual wet lettuce established procedures.

UrsulaPandress · 13/01/2018 14:20

And a 4x4 as well. Ticks all the boxes.

bingbongnoise · 13/01/2018 14:20

I am sure the DVLA sends a reminder for road tax (in the post!) So 'Landrover-CF' must have been warned about it. And he got the MOT done only a few weeks before the tax was due too. Pillock!

POLICE ARE HERE! Grin

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 14:20

Offered them a cup of tea because I can't contained my British and also mentioned it was untaxed.

Sunday afternoon is probably quiet on the western front.

That's probably why Pleece came speedily! Smile

HermionesRightHook · 13/01/2018 14:22

Yes athing - it's dead handy if you want to check your own car, a bit worrying that anyone can do it.

BlooBagoo · 13/01/2018 14:22

Hope you also told them they've made a lot of people online rather happy at their quick response. Grin

MotherofaSurvivor · 13/01/2018 14:22

Your double glazing is on it's way out...

c3pu · 13/01/2018 14:22

You need to get some new glass for that window OP, the seal has gone and let moisture in, WHICH IS OBSCURING MY VIEW OF THE DRAMA FFS

Oysterbabe · 13/01/2018 14:22

That's an incredible response time, I'm glad they take parking as seriously as we do.
Or maybe it's stolen.

MotherofaSurvivor · 13/01/2018 14:23

Bingbong I'm sure today is Saturday....?

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 14:23

MotherofaSurvivor I rent the house off an absolute cowboy landlord who overcharges me and never, ever fixes anything. Bane of my life.
