Does parking on a closed road count as a live parking thread? 😁

[DailyMaui]

So they have closed the road I live on to resurface it. It will be closed for the next two nights. We’ve had multiple letters from the council, there have been signs up for at least a month and yesterday they painted NO PARKING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY all over the road.

8 cars are still parked there with 15 minutes to go until resurfacing begins. One of the cars is right outside my house and when I saw them out the window, I tried to explain to the two women (looking like they were off for an evening in town) that they were probably not going to be able to get their car until morning but they told me to fuck off!

The road is lorry central, a guy is taking pictures of the remaining cars… it’s all go here.

Anyone know what they do? Do they just resurface round the cars? Tow them away? Do they get brutal? There’s a fair few annoyed looking men in hi-vis walking up and down! Should I get wine and a comfy viewing position?

😉

Ha ha Brilliant

I have been lurking for years but couldn't help but comment! I live a 10 minute walk away, this is exciting

You've really missed a trick here, you could have sold tickets to this entertainment. I would have bought one just to meet the donkey dog😍.

What a brilliant thread! 😂

Amazingstoke has a Swing Swang Lane, which mercifully has not had a name change.

I once went to the cash point at the Tesco near the station on my way home from work. I had headphones on. I was blissfully unaware of my brother stood behind me saying “give me your fucking money” until I turned to go and there was bro smiling behind me and a guy not too far away yelling “I’m calling the police!” with his phone to his ear. I love him but he’s an arse sometimes.

grins smugly

Best thread in the Multiverse. Nadine Dorries will be sorry she missed this one.

I saw you posting on a thread in site stuff earlier when this thread was deleted by mistake. You gave me a chuckle 😂.

At the risk of sounding a right Roger, they could have got half the road done by now if they weren't waiting for all the twatmobiles to be removed

I’m awfully excited after realizing you live about 15 minutes drive from where I work. One of the guys had to drive the van out today and described it as ‘bloody chaos’ due to a road closure. I’m so invested in this now.

Enjoying this rather too much. DH has buggered off to bed leaving me to the delights of this thread and a large gin

This has kept me amused!
Bravo OP for the diagrams and photographic updates!

i am so invested in this I have been on Rightmove looking for a property to retire to in OPtown

i reckon it has everything. I shall wear a small rubber snake as a necklace and await contact

Here’s St Evenage, in her Holy High Vis robe and wimple, overseeing the proceedings, and clutching the sacred tome in which this thread will be inscribed for preservation in perpetuity.

Put a sign up...

The you reply "F* off"

I simply must know if trapped car got away. Godspeed fair prisoner.

Last car gone.

Bye bye hun. U r wiv the angels now

Aww quite sad to know that's the last one we will see hoiked up and off.

I'm not a local, but worked it out. However, that's irrelevant, as I've simply enjoyed this thread.. Especially the bemused duo looking for their car.

I bet the dog can't wait for the road works to be over so he can get his bedroom back

My sign idea post didn't reply to you 😩

That's a thing of beauty.

She'd look serene with a theodolite at her side.

If I’d drunk less I would have added a couple of ranging poles, but you’ve had as much creativity as I can manage tonight.
