So we have Strange Car and Strange Car next to X.
D in X/1.
Mrs K in 1/2.
Mr K in 3.
B in 4.
F in 5.

We also have a very anxious F watching for movement and an absent B.

Bravo Mr and Mrs K! Will B go and knock of Mrs and Mrs K's door when she gets back, I wonder? I'm imagining F twitching her curtains now.

Gogolego · 21/02/2020 20:47

Where is C in all of this
Parking up for the evening with WineWineWine

originalcatlady · 21/02/2020 20:56

I'm guessing B is out drinking so her return will be irrelevant Grin

originalcatlady · 21/02/2020 20:56

C often doesn't return. She's a little odd.

TeetotalKoala · 21/02/2020 20:57

Oh this is a wonderful development! The fact that F has parked in 5 is an absolute game changer. No longer will she be able to scold the K's.

I also love that Mrs. K is in 1/2. That leaves a pissed off F AND a pissed off B. Because if there's one person who won't move for B, it's K

TeetotalKoala · 21/02/2020 21:00

Also, as an aside, this is my first time posting using the app instead of the website. Why have I not used it sooner?!?!

TeetotalKoala · 21/02/2020 21:01

What colour is F's dressing gown?

Gogolego · 21/02/2020 21:09

Ahhh ok C has gone AWOL again
In my head B is an old bat but by the sounds of her activities she's much younger than that

coastergirl · 21/02/2020 21:11

Oh this is fantastic!

My little boy put on his grandma's pink dressing gown this morning and I instantly thought of this thread.

RainbowAlicorn · 21/02/2020 21:12

Oh gotta love Mr and Mrs K.

givemebooks · 21/02/2020 21:28

Well this had made my Friday, Amazing work by the K's

Lweji · 21/02/2020 21:35

And it's the weekend, so anything could happen tomorrow.

originalcatlady · 21/02/2020 22:16

@TeetotalKoala F hasn't wasted any watching time by getting changed into her dressing gown!

I say we organise a MN bus trip to visit this street. @originalcatlady would you organise some lawn chairs, we'll all bring a variety of nibbles, drinksand parking obstructions and enjoy a day or more of parking shenanigans?

Screw Disneyland, I'm bringing an autograph book cos I need to meet these legends (Mr & Mrs K, I'm looking at you, you sneaky wonderful bastards), maybe wear my pink dressing gown and get a snap with the original pink lady Mrs B

originalcatlady · 21/02/2020 22:39

I'm on it! We could get those opera glasses too, so you can check out the furious faces twitching the curtains!

Cars are passing through ok but I doubt a fire engine could
That wouldn't worry them. Section 44 of the F&RS Act basically gives firefighters blanket permission to force their way through, never mind the damage to the cars.

Just read the updates as we were travelling home last night and I didn't have access to this amazing thread.. What's the site this morning? Has anyone seen Mr B recently? Does he ever go out the house.. I know he doesn't drive but I'm worried for his safety

TeetotalKoala · 22/02/2020 08:13

Re the fire engine. I always hope that one will hurtle down my street and take out my neighbour who reverses into the on street parking, but leaves his wheel sticking out as he doesn't bother to straighten them up. I get irrationally angry every time I see it.

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 08:23

Mr B seems perfectly happy with his little pottering about life...wanders to the shops, stops and talks to the other older gentlemen, runs errands.

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 08:26

So this morning...

Mr and Mrs K have just left for work...and C arrives home and parks in 3.

We could have some fun later when B realises her space is vacant...but she can't actually get into it 🤷‍♀️😂

D is still in X/1.

F has gone out again. (Or was taken out by a fire engine in the middle of the night 🤣)

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 11:15

Ahha! Finally B is twitching her curtains!!!

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 11:29

After trying several times in both directions, B is back in 4 Grin

Lweji · 22/02/2020 11:31

You could probably make a lot of money by putting her attempts on YouTube. for us to see

WhatICallMyUsername · 22/02/2020 11:40

Oh god I am getting confused now, I thought B's "spot" was 1/2 Confused
