It is.
I'm reading she left 4, tried to park in 1/2 and bad to return to 4, or wherever she was.

Lweji · 22/02/2020 11:43

...had to...

WhatICallMyUsername · 22/02/2020 12:02

@Lweji oh god of course that's what it means, I read it as back as in back where she belongs not back as in gave up and went back!! Grin

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 12:43

Haha. Yes she gave up. Very red faced.

I wonder where F is?!

I think we need @originalcatlady to get a ring doorbell then upload snippets of action this whole thing is amazing

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 12:53

I think the Daily Fail would be back if I did that 🤣

BinkySodPlop · 22/02/2020 14:59

F is in 5, still, I think? The person missing in action is C, who is presumably out having a lovely time somewhere? Now if she comes back and parks in 1/2, will it set B off??

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 18:07

I think you missed an update!

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 19:10

Ooo one by one they have all gone out! The street is empty...it'll be a free for all later!!

BigFatLiar · 22/02/2020 19:24

And they've left you stuck at home!

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 20:16

All alone so I can provide you all with updates 🤣

Phew. F is back in her precious 4.

D is in 2/3

If we timed it right, we could all park on the street and really mess up the system.

@originalcatlady tells us when each person leaves. As they do, one of us takes the parking space. We leave B till last as she is likely to try and launch a counterattack. Once all parked, we (including General OP) go away for a fortnight whilst using a ring doorbell to monitor the confusion, aggression and general entertainment that ensues. Maybe we broadcast the result. I bet Channel 4 would take it. They'd call it something like "The Experiment" or "Dressing Gown Devastation"

BinkySodPlop · 22/02/2020 22:04

Gah! Sorry! I must move my pieces off the board promptly..... Blush

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 22:06

B has returned and taken an uncharacteristic position in 1; assuming this is to avoid being "trapped" by someone nearly touching her if she was level with her front door 🤔

OP posts:
Supertrooper98 · 22/02/2020 22:36

Wow. Maybe she has finally learned and all of the problems are suddenly solved and no more parking drama on Alphabet Street. It would be a lovely conclusion but I feel a bit sad for some reason

originalcatlady · 22/02/2020 23:05

I think she's probably just worried about being trapped. I can't imagine the drama stopping after all these years.

(And if it does, I'll be back when DD gets her car GrinGrinGrin!)

There's a market for 'but is it touching?' bumper stickers.

olympicsrock · 23/02/2020 00:06

Loving the drama!!

allthesharks · 23/02/2020 00:29

I hope D reversed to be fully in 2, leaving 3 for someone else just to prove how it can work if people don't park like arseholes.

sunshinesupermum · 23/02/2020 10:31

If the K's have two cars where re they parked? #askingforafriend

originalcatlady · 23/02/2020 15:47

@allthesharks no he didn't. He's just as bad as the others I think.

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 23/02/2020 15:47

@sunshinesupermum I don't know! The poor people may keep having to use the next street while everyone plays their games.

originalcatlady · 23/02/2020 19:49

Ahhh it's a disappointing evening. B is in 1/2, D is in 3 and F is in 4.

OP posts:
Stressedout10 · 23/02/2020 20:06

😔
Still B is on lates tomorrow 😁

PotterHead1985 · 23/02/2020 20:24
