Live CF parking thread (with diagram!)

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 Hmmso 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 Angry

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

Grrrrrrr!

Yes, there are far too many cp plastering firms on fb

Glad I'm not the only one who searched for them!

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 07/08/2019 19:15

Oh I sincerely hope you're half a nice leisurely dinner and drinks in the pub!

IndieTara · 07/08/2019 19:22

Primark you say?

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 07/08/2019 19:23

Please don't set him free OP!

MrsAJCrowley · 07/08/2019 19:23

Shameless placemarking... I’ve kept up with this since this morning! I’m not giving up now 😂 go on Op! We are cheering you on!

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 19:23

CF Plastering surely, not CP Plastering? Lol

It would be very easy to change it to CF Plastering, if you had the right colour paint handy, wouldn't it?

But that would be criminal damage, so you mustn't do that OP, and neither must any of your FB friends.

Definitely not. Not ever. {{{{{shakes head vigorously}}}}}

CoolLikeOvie · 07/08/2019 19:24

Literally praying that your FB group are out in full force when you let him free! Maybe a quick call out 10 minutes before leaving the pub? Grin

MozarellaBalls · 07/08/2019 19:26

👏👀

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 07/08/2019 19:26

LakieLady · 07/08/2019 19:29

Should we have a whip round to pay for OP, her DH and DC to spend the night in a hotel? Grin

QuckTheDuck · 07/08/2019 19:31

Shamelessly placemarking

StoorieHoose · 07/08/2019 19:32

I'm betting he's a one man band and it was him who ignored the OPs call earlier and him who phoned requesting her to come back.

mmgirish · 07/08/2019 19:33

I can't believe he just laughed at you! I bet he wouldn't have done that to a man.

lovesapinot · 07/08/2019 19:33

Update.

We are home.

Said Van was still there only I couldn't get to my gates as FIL has arrived in his big works van. Smile

Neighbour also out looking at what was going on, glass of wine in hand.

DH has spoken to van man who was out of his van as soon as we walked into drive saying I'd locked him in and DH (who from now on shall be called HERODH) said to him how could I have locked him in as it was our drive and he shouldn't have been there full-stop, and I'd asked and advised him to move which he hadn't so we weren't rushing to move or let him out. FIL promptly drove up drive a bit so he defo can't get out. Grin

I've come inside now to sort DS.

I imagine they will move in a min but not before they let him stew a bit more. Twat.
