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)

DD is moaning we're out of biscuits. I'd have definitely said yes to that. Once my deliveries I'm waiting on arrive I'll have to pop out and see what I can find in the corner shop.

Time to tidy up your front garden.
If you don't have one, someone else's front garden will do.

Oooooo, additional angry neighbour (identity unknown) is having a rant about CF to police now. Male, deep voice, sounds mid forties.

He doesnt know the car owner but felt he should also add that this isn't the first time and he's mighty cross.

Car owner identity remains unknown. Police are running out of doors to knock on.

Op and pickle officer get married and we all get an invite to the wedding.

for those of you that don't know, chummy = criminal

Curtain-twitching, tea-making OP, dodgy window seal, Russian man/man in a Russian hat walking a dog, speedy police response, a pack of fab biscuits, a brilliant diagram, landrover-CF, an UNTAXED car!! This thread has it ALL. Amazing!

Just heard police lady call in that it's untaxed.

On another note, I'm getting zero work done right now.

What an exciting afternoon you are having, op! Good show.

Now pass the biccies.

Great thread! It's cheered up my poorly self

Work?!?!? Priorities woman!!

NEW UPDATE! Deep voiced angry middle aged man!

I cannot contain my excitement!

I need to do my housework but I am hooked!

This is gold! You’ve made my afternoon 😀 you’re my Queen!

Banoffee Digestives, that’s what you needed OP, I’m holding out for a tow truck for CFers car and locking-up for CF who’s probably Strange Russian Hat Man trying to look inconspicuous

Forget work. And you can't go out at 4.30 unless there's been a satisfactory conclusion

Shameful placemarking on a fabulous post!

Also huge thanks to OP and ShellyBoobs for the link... never seen it before but can tell where I am going to spend my next few hours whilst waiting for updates!

Untaxed? It’ll be towed next!

Ugh banoffee biscuits are devil food!

OP, with all due respect: nobody gives a shiny shite about your work

Now, focus. Angry man could be single and he and pickle officer could have a duel for your hand.

This has made my Saturday! Get some video footage too.

Will this be towed or clamped if untaxed? Surely they can’t clamp vehicle in unsafe parking spot. So exiting.

Forget the digestives OP. Give them some good Ol Aussie Tim Tams.

Those biscuits are the best. The police officers don’t know what they’re missing.

It's gone quiet. Can't see or hear police and Cheeky Fucker still in place.

Im praying to both the MN Gods and the Parking Gods for a tow truck.

Rousette Driver comes back and starts threatening one of the police. They have to grapple with him and put him in a headlock and then hold him face down on the pavement and put him in handcuffs. (Pictures provided on here) One of the policeman is particularly handsome and knocks on OP's door to thank her, and tell her he is a chummy they've been looking for, for days. He accepts a cup of tea whilst his colleague takes in driver. Policeman asks OP if she'd like to go for a drink next week. OP accepts....

No, no, no!!!.... If you let OP know this, she'll realise that she's obliged to update her new relationship on a permanent basis to MN... Far better to let her fall into it unknowingly.

OP - I've just checked on the DVLA website and the vehicle is untaxed at the moment, it ran out on the 30th Nov 2017. Might be worth mentioning that to the police as well.

Really atrocious piece of parking...
