To decorate my neighbour’s new ‘no parking outside my door’ signs with a bit of tinsel?

The sign glows in the dark. It is rather large and looks awful.

You have just won the internet 😂

Oh fab! Ha ha! I don't have any of this bollocks near me, mores the pity. All the houses in my cul de sac have sufficient driveway and no-one is a wanker.

You need an elf with a tow truck for tomorrow Xmas Grin
I'd love to see the reaction this gets with NDN

Brilliant! You win my vote for best parking thread of the year, looking forward to seeing what other plans you come up with Xmas Grin

BoneyBackJefferson · 20/12/2018 23:44

Just so that we have the full information.

Your neighbour has their designated parking bays outside their house/flat, and have put a sign up to stop people parking there, and because you don't like the sign you are going to wind your neighbour up?

Or am I missing something?

Oldbutstillgotit · 20/12/2018 23:54

Just back from pub ( I retired today ) and I am greeted with a parking thread ! Does life get much better?

MountainPeakGeek · 21/12/2018 00:00

Boney - Yes, you're missing something. The OP stated that the sign is indicating "no parking allowed" on a stretch of public road that's outside their neighbours' house, but that they have designated parking bays elsewhere, and no right to dictate who can/can't park on the road.

thanks, for some reason I couldn't make sense of it.

Bravo op Xmas Grin

svenwhen · 21/12/2018 00:30

This is brilliant

iRememberNow · 21/12/2018 00:48

Brilliant, I'm crying laughing

Atchiclees · 21/12/2018 01:01

Oh the sheer glee and joy at this parking thread. Xmas Grin Please make a couple of fairy doors out of lollipop sticks or similar to put in front of the sign to represent the doors you can’t park in front of.

XmasHolly · 21/12/2018 01:27

You should get a policeman puppet from Punch & Judy and lean it against the sign. Grin

I can't sleep as I am in pain but this thread has cheered me up a lot.

AlpacaLypse · 21/12/2018 03:38

The lack of diagram is more than compensated for by the photos!

I think you need to block the elf in with penguin bollards!
