Don't Know why that posted twice. Having been here since the beginning I of course knew B was on a late shift ha... I cannot wait for tonight.. Baring in mind the roadworks I'm very surprised she didn't get a lift to work today

That sounds amazing. GrinGrinGrin

Finally caught up after having had Alphabet Street recommended to me by a fellow MNer...this has to go into Classics, surely? Thank you, OP, for your dedication to duty.

Just one question, SausageRoll : who’s playing the workman? Surely an opportunity for an A-list cameo?

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll
Love your amazing plan...I can almost 100% guarentee the film will also win in every American Academy Awards ceremony for best foreign film.....Oscar's, Golden Globes, Emmy's oh just every single one!
And for those requesting a pink dressing gown emoji, this 👘 will have to do until we can get MNHQ to add one..(btw, if you turn your screen light down and squint a bit this one almost looks pink) I DID manage to find these lovely house shoes emojis to go with the fuchsia pink dressing gown emoji...2 styles available ! 🥿👡

Jojo2wyatr · 13/02/2020 20:54

🤣, on my emojis that gown was RED! almost fainted when I saw it was blue on my actual post

OlaEliza · 13/02/2020 21:02

It's green on my screen 😁

I mean. In any other street in the world, that would make perfect sense. Two spaces, two cars to come home.

Fight fight fight!

coastergirl · 13/02/2020 21:36

I've been following from the start. This is amazing. The film plot is pure genius. Waiting eagerly for 10pm. I hate pink...but I do need a new dressing gown...

My vote goes to Chris O'Dowd. Not A list, perhaps, but I can just see his delivery of "Yes, but is it touching?" !

givemebooks · 13/02/2020 21:38

Good evening Thread 3! Wine

@webuiltthisbuffetonsausagerolls I think I luvs you, best idea EVER!

Can I recommend everyone report this thread for classics @originalcatlady deserves this for her absolute dedication in reporting the goings on in Alphabet St but also for the global increase in pink dressing gown sales!

And while we are at it I feel we should demand that mumsnet add a pink dressing gown emoji!! Grin

Mumma12345 · 13/02/2020 21:41

Please please please hurry up c 🍿🍿🍿

originalcatlady · 13/02/2020 21:59

Right. So C came home. Parked in 1/2 for about half an hour. Van turns up and parks in 1 for a bit then drives off with no lights on. C does a three point turn and follows it away at speed 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Supertrooper98 · 13/02/2020 22:08

What???
What is happening?
Is C having an affair?

Supertrooper98 · 13/02/2020 22:08

This is an unexpected twist

Gogolego · 13/02/2020 22:12

Whaaatt!!! That sounds bonkers

Tandia · 13/02/2020 22:14

I honestly wouldn't have thought it could get more interesting than C starting to park in 1/2!!! Who is in the van, why is C following them, what is going on????!!!

JordanMcDeere · 13/02/2020 22:15

Was C doing her usual sitting in the car for seemingly no reason or did she see the van from her house?

Ineedanap90 · 13/02/2020 22:16

Oh dear god what's going on there.. Are they off to intervene B in her route home and kill her off? Dispose of the body in the van?

RainbowAlicorn · 13/02/2020 22:19

Omg, I lost the second thread and thought it must have gone quite, I have a lot of reading to catch up on. 😂🙈

originalcatlady · 13/02/2020 22:20

Yes C was just sitting in her car. Had been for almost an hour. She got back seconds before B, into the exact same position. B is in X.

Just what?!
