Whaaaaaaat? Come on K's. Let's not be dicks! They've brought their social life home with them then?

Tandia · 23/03/2020 22:57

No?!!! Seriously? Oh and I liked them so much, but they are clearly just knobs.

A - a house party now? That is the most selfish and ignorant thing I've ever heard of.
B - blocking other people's drives is never OK.
I'm going off everyone in alphabet street except you originalcatlady :-(

originalcatlady · 23/03/2020 22:59

Started about half an hour ago. I have DC in bed. And what if I have an emergency?

And Mrs K has been home for two days so she can't have not seen the news or think "well I've been with these people all day" or...well just no excuses are there?!

Oh that's a shame. Mr & Mrs K were held in high esteem until tonight. Knobs - no excuses whatsoever. Maybe someone in the street will have the sense to call the police and get the party dispersed. Idiots.

HedgehogDramas · 23/03/2020 23:21

That was a hint OP!!

TeetotalKoala · 24/03/2020 02:16

K's logic. 'The neighbours are on lockdown, it's fine to block their drives as they won't be going out anyway'.
Knobbers.

Raindancer411 · 24/03/2020 02:40

Oh you should have seen if the police were allowed to go break if up as a mass gathering... after all Boris said there was new powers for them

OlaEliza · 24/03/2020 08:45

What's the situation now op?

sunshinesupermum · 24/03/2020 08:47

You're right originalcatlady The K's are complete fxxwits as are all their guests. But you mentioned they were young so they probably think they aren't vulnerable and are being as selfish in their own way as B is in hers.

originalcatlady · 24/03/2020 12:21

Everyone stayed overnight and then some have gone to work and some are in the garden. My drive is still blocked.

In other news, B has had her spot for over 24 hrs now.

Very disappointing about the Ks.

I'm surprised that M is still socialising and having visitors - is she not quite old and frail?

originalcatlady · 24/03/2020 17:20

I know! It's clearly the street of, obey my rules but not the actual law, whether it's parking related or not!

This may help pass the lockdown time with a smile, my favourite is the last one!

My favourite! Can you manage to print it and stick it on B's car?

Tandia · 24/03/2020 22:28

If anything similar happens again I definitely think you should report them, OP. So many people have shut down their businesses at significant personal cost, due to the new rules, and they think this is the time to party?! What is wrong with them?

purplecorkheart · 26/03/2020 19:52

How are things on alphabet Street today?

HedgehogDramas · 26/03/2020 21:26

Did you all go out at 8pm and clap for the NHS OP? I can see the residents of Alphabet Street united with their clapping but secretly eyeing up any empty parking spaces!!

purplecorkheart · 26/03/2020 21:36

And giving each other dirty looks while giving jaw clenching smiles

originalcatlady · 26/03/2020 21:48

I think Alphabet Street would combust if everyone was on the doorstep at the same time.

Bs work closed today so it might be the end of the thread...

Only C continues to work, using X every day.

How long has B been in 'her' space now? Really cross that Coronavirus might bring this glorious thread to an end! Thanks OP Wine Flowers Cake

GabsAlot · 26/03/2020 22:03

nooooooooooo its over?

disappointed with k's not good form

originalcatlady · 26/03/2020 22:09

It's entertained me for nearly 20 years. I'm sure I'll be back for a sequel 😂

Tandia · 26/03/2020 22:19

Dammit, we need alphabet street action more than ever now there is so little action in our own lives! Does B never need to go shopping?

Weenurse · 27/03/2020 06:51

I have settled into my chair, anticipating my alphabet street entertainment, and I get this!
Not fair😢
