Ah she went out before anyone came home. B's got her spot. It's a quiet night.

Like everyone else in the world, I’ve been having a terrible week. I always love a parking thread, but I’ve really needed these updates this week. Thank you so much for keeping this going, @originalcatlady

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 13:33

I think this is the best one yet...

A has put a line of post it notes on the windscreen and windows of C's car (parked in X).

Do they say anything or are they blank? We need to know. BlushWink

I hope A has plenty of post its to keep on going with this too. If I had any I'd happily send them to help the cause. Grin

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 13:56

They've got words on. I think I need to send the DC out for some fresh air...

Please get photographic evidence!

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 14:45

Sooo....

No photos as he's used names but it's all variations on "C knock on A house and speak to me" "it's urgent" and "A is having visitors".

He keeps coming out to look randomly at her car. And they keep blowing away 😂

Am confused - thought A and C were good uns - didn't realise they have a conflict too besides ganging up on B!

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 15:17

I think any of them will have a conflict with any of them as soon as they don't get their own way!

Are there any alternative options for C? Are people staying put now?? Could get interesting as more decide to stay inside.

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 18:53

A has just hammered on C's door. No response. Returned and posted some kind of note through. A is now standing on her doorstep, assume waiting for the response...

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 18:55

@BinkySodPlop I think the only alternative is that B stops being obsessed with her space and they all share nicely?

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 19:23

C went out, and walked straight past A, who was waiting on his doorstep and waving his walking stick 🙄😂

Has C come back yet? I wonder why she never answers the door.

sunshinesupermum · 21/03/2020 21:30

But did C take her car?

originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 21:31

No sign of C.

But oddly, Mr K has parked at the end of Js drive, blocking her in. The street is very full though!

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 21/03/2020 21:31

Oh yes, C always takes her car.

Has there been any movement today?

MargotMoon · 23/03/2020 04:29

I feel really sorry for A, he's the one with the genuine parking problem here, not fucking B with her mad sense of entitlement.

purplecorkheart · 23/03/2020 11:09

Is Mrs B on lates this week?

originalcatlady · 23/03/2020 11:41

She's still working but seems to have adjusted her hours the last few days. This could go either way....

Does A have a genuine parking problem? He seems to mainly use the spot for reserved visitor parking. He’s quite capable of nipping round to people’s houses and out to the curb to let people know he wants his spot so could he not just nip to the car pulled up in the street and get in?

GabsAlot · 23/03/2020 15:18

we have a designated disabled space no sign -my neighbour is in a wheelchair but doesnt have a car so i dont kn ow why they need it his son can pick him anywhere and its a cul de sac so quite quiet

originalcatlady · 23/03/2020 22:50

Well. Just in case you though Boris was closing down Alphabet Street, don't you worry. Beware. Contents may change opinions.

Mr and Mrs K are hosting a house party. To do so, they have blocked in drives G, J and L and have taken all spaces except 1/2 (B) and 4 (F).

They are having a HOUSE PARTY??
