Kudos to Mr K :)

B really should have her license revoked if she can't park a 206 in a standard parking space.

Does Mr B drive or is he not "allowed to"?

Maybe you need one of those paddles they have on Strictly to award her points for her parking, negative numbers should be available.

On a serious note, she's a good reason that parallel parking should be on the driving test.

I'm not sure that would do any good. Parallel parking was on my driving test. I could do it in my instructor's car because he had very precise instructions about exactly when to turn. I could never do it in my own car, for long after I passed the test. I can now do it, but it might have been a couple of years after having passed the test that I sussed out how to do it properly. I'm still a bit shaky when it's on the driver's side and a bit tight. Blush

My parallel parking ability has declined wildly with park assist function on my car. It's fatal when the car can do it for you!

Ineedanap90 · 25/02/2020 15:17

Has B driven to work or was she collected to guard her precious space?

originalcatlady · 25/02/2020 18:20

As we know, anything can happen in a few hours but we currently have a visitor in 1, C in 2, D in 3 and K in 4. This could be fun 🍿

ny20005 · 25/02/2020 19:04

Ooh exciting WineSmile

BigFatLiar · 25/02/2020 19:15

We need someone in X

FredaFox · 25/02/2020 19:26

This soap opera brightens my day when I drop in each evening for my latest fix 😂
I want someone to really call her inability to park out

Doginahat · 25/02/2020 19:32

We need someone in X

I volunteer as tribute!

Ineedanap90 · 25/02/2020 19:50

I've got a blue badge as well as I'm sure others have.. Let's go

originalcatlady · 25/02/2020 20:12

Umm, C has been replaced by F...this could be interesting!

C parks in X without a care doesn't she? Oh I'm praying that she does that.

Get K parking in 4. Making friends all over the street this week.

TeetotalKoala · 25/02/2020 20:16

What I would like to see happen...

C parks in X
Visitor leaves
K car number 2 parks in 1
M gets a visitor who parks on their drive

Bet I could hear the explosion from here.

Ineedanap90 · 25/02/2020 21:57

What's the situation op? Just to refresh me because I'm too lazy to go back and look.. In fairness I've just done loads of ironing and now have my Ben and Jerry's at the ready for Bs return from work.. So let me off for asking this time please lol I bet B constantly watches her clock at work and asks Mr B for regular updates lol

originalcatlady · 25/02/2020 22:12

We are awaiting B to return to the only available space...X

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 25/02/2020 22:14

Will she manage to park in X?

Will she share her wrath with F, for being in 2?

Will she share her wrath with K, for forcing F into 2?

Will she scream about who dares to have visitors?

Trying X from one way...

Four fails. Angry 1st gear turning around to try X from the other way.

Vinorosso74 · 25/02/2020 22:19

Was just checking in for the latest episode.... Maybe someone needs to have a word about her noisy revving at this time of night. Perhaps the Ks could get his and hers dressing gowns.

originalcatlady · 25/02/2020 22:20

No. She can't do it. She's gone for next to Strange Cars. Illegally close to a junction.

originalcatlady · 25/02/2020 22:21

Oooo hang on she's approaching...
