Alphabet Street...is this thread 3?!

[originalcatlady]

I can't believe you are all still finding this interesting! You do make me laugh!!

Ooooo - they should totally use this thread as part of their marketing campaign!

I was here for the original thread but then for some reason got busy. I am FINALLY caught up! I can't believe I'm caught up. What will I do now?!

where is everyone parked today OP?

Quiet day today. No ones been out.

C is in X
B is in 1/2
D is in 2/3
Strange car is in 4.
Mr and Mrs K are next to X.

If A has a garage why does he need a space marked on the street?

I posted a link to the Olaf thread on Wednesday, though I didn't mention him by name! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3837189-It-s-a-parking-one?pg=1&messages=100

Can anyone get in their garage these days?

FNuts Oooh, oooh... actually I can! ((Smug)) We cleaned the garage this weekend!

I can, but park in the court as easier and quicker to go to work at 6.15 every morning.
We also fall have our preferred spots in the court 😎

The parking in X really grinds my gears... (much like Mrs B at 5am I suspect)

I don't understand how it can be marked out as a disabled space if it's across his driveway anyway!

Well I don't know the ins and outs but I suspect it's to do with mobility - the people collecting him can park at the side of the house so he can get straight into to car if X is reserved only for him.

Today the street is oddly full. B has been in 1/2 for days - it's like she can't move once she achieves it. However, C has returned and parked in 2/3, "almost touching" her bumper, and a Strange Car has done the same in 1, assuming to try as much as possible to not be in X, as there is nowhere else to park.

F is still missing and there is a van parked there. Pretty sure the new neighbours arrival is imminent (next door but one to G).

Crumbs! How will B get out if she's nearly touching on both sides!!!

And she's got to go to work soon hasn't she?

🍿🍿🍿🍿

I'm ready

Well, it's B's fault for parking in 1/2 and leaving a gap between her and X. Just inviting someone to squeeze in there

We have on free (one hour) street bay parking in my large village. Just long bays, not subdivided.
The Council have worked out how much generous space to leave on either side of drives etc, so I get really annoyed when someone parks 4 feet from the end of the bay, wasting space. Then someone does the same at the other end of the bay and the result is 3 cars in a bay that has plenty of room for 4...

It's like everyday here...2 cars in a space for 3!

So. She found the owner of Strange Car by knocking on all the doors and harassing everyone, until she found them and told them they had to move as they had blocked her in. Huff, rev, screech and off she goes. Continues at 10pm 😉

knocked on all the doors B really is unbelievable.

Where do people park when Alphabet Street is "Full"?
Is there more space a road or two over?

Where did the strange car owner live?!

They were visitors to another house.

Ohhh well we have some time yet...but it's a mess...

Mrs K is in 4.
Which meant that new neighbours had to park in 3. But didn't make a very good job of it. Which meant that D had to park in 1/2.

Strange Car and Mr K are by X.

Which means that if it stays as is, there is no space for B, C or F

@BruceAndNosh yes they would have to park in other streets, which are also increasingly rammed, hence our quite new frequency of Strange Cars.

Oooh it's juicy today. Fireworks at 10?
