Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

[lovesapinot]

So NC for this as not sure if neighbours are on here.

I am off today & woke up to the sound of doors banging and loud voices.

Have a glance out of bedroom window & there are 2 vans & a land rover parked on my ACTUAL drive!

Now I guess it's easily mistaken as a public car park so don't say anything immediately but once I'm up and toddler is dressed I go downstairs to see.

My next door neighbours are away on holiday. But of a weird driveway as their house has its own but it's round the back of ours and ours is at front so if you use sat nav it brings you to ours as their house is other side of our driveway ifyswim.

Diagram to show you what I mean.

Anyway they are unloading tools etc onto big sheets on my drive and walking over grass to neighbours

I said to them it was a private drive and could they move onto neighbours and they said they won't be long

I was too shocked to say much more than 'no please move now'

Grrrrrrr!

You need to be a bit careful or tomorrow he could just park in front of your drive all day, blocking you in.

I dont know how you have reminded calm I would gave gone nuclear.

I'm bored at work too. I'm supposed to be using an HR tool to detail my 'aspirations' for the next 12 months. Would "to be able to draw CF parking diagrams as good as Iovesapinot on MN" be a good one?

It's a criminal offence to block someone in on their drive, so OP could get that actioned by the authorities. Actually OP, bear that in mind when the CF workman wants to leave. Let him go, but take a looooong time moving your car and locating the key to the gate.

@TixieLix
Yes!
I've just logged off for 3 weeks

Ok updated and more detailed drawing.

The dog path is literally, a path. Can't get in it as there are bollards at border of our drive (again weird set up) there is bushes other side and a fence and then steep incline to a busy main noisy road. As demonstrated.

Once off our drive you are then in our street and other neighbours houses to left.

OMG it's saying I've uploaded 6 images today and won't let me!!!

I'd refuse to move your car until tomorrow morning. If he comes knocking at the door ignore it.

Can I send drawing to someone somehow?!

She could, but if the building work is going on for a long time, this could quickly become a major pain in the neck.
If it were me, I would make sure my car was parked across my drive tomorrow morning so they can't park on it or block you in.

StopMakingATitOfUrselfNPissOff brilliant.
Even better if he knows full well it's your car, and he knows you know he knows :o

Unlock the gates, tell them you're going away unexpectedly. They need to move the van now or it'll be locked in until you're back. And stand there.

I do need to go out now so going to have to put an end to this.

I'm
Asking him to move one more time otherwise he will be locked in

When they come and ask you to unlock the gates, tell them you'll be 15 minutes because you're having a tea break.

When he bangs on the door asking you to move,tell him you don't drive,you've no idea who that car belongs to, fuckwits just keep parking on your drive

You have to do this!

Photograph his van and get it on your local FB group

@higgyhog You are my hero! That is absolutely brilliant and made me roar with laughter.

Oh all over local busybody Facebook group! It's uproar!

How can I post this pic?! It's the best yet!

I'll take a bow. thanks.

I read on here last year, police will only intervene if your vehicle is a business one and you need to go to work.
Park on the end of your drive tomorrow or lock gates empty...

And?..... And?

Can't post my pic

Describe your pic?

Are they still there OP?
