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

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?

😉

The thread is mildly amusing. Not classic worthy or the best thread ever though.

Thank you for your feedback.

I've been to that Tesco Shock Didn't there used to be a B&Q on that roundabout. I once carried a 6 foot ladder up to the top of the hill from it.

i read that as BBQ and was suitably mystified as to why there’s be a BBQ happening on a roundabout. Mind you, you could have the BBQ itself in the middle and all the people sat around in camping chairs?

I need to go to sleep

Those dudes?

They way too cool to get vex by this.

They slope up the road like losing a posh Audi is peng, innit. Wicked like.

(my teens are upstairs clenching all orifices as they can FEEL this embarrassing post in their bones)

Admit it OP, you are a highly qualified, best thread ever expert employed by MN to soothe all our "Here's a shiny new update" traumatised souls so that we don't start a class action suit headed by Saul Goodman. Admit it.

I wonder if the mother of the lad who can't his car is on this thread. There were signs everywhere and even Roger did his bit.

HolyHiVizOfStEvenage · 22/04/2022 23:17

Plot twist: Roger is married to FuckOffWoman and was just trying to save his fellow neighbours from the same ear bashing he’s had to put up with for the last 24 hours.

Thoughts and prayers, Roger. Thoughts and prayers.

Rubixtwister · 22/04/2022 23:19

Do you reckon they deleted it when they were actually trying to add it to classics?

Do Mumsnet do Blue Plaques? I reckon they need to get one made up to have placed on the tree where FUCKOFF woman parked

Thank you for the pic of St E. I was born&bred round here. Am thinking this image would be a good alternative to a St Christopher

Rubixtwister · 22/04/2022 23:23

Excuse random huge gaps. Now not possible to post on app. Loving these changes. Had to cut and paste into eugh mobile site

Thank you for a totally brilliant thread. The highlight was the photo of the two men looking for their fucked off car Grin

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.

I used to live near Fanny Hands Lane. Would have much preferred Wibbly Wobbly.

Oxford used to have a Grope Cunt Lane until they renamed it.

@SilentBob how todo they get the letters and lines so perfect? I’ve often wondered…

SpinningForVictory · 23/04/2022 00:14

Oxford used to have a Grope Cunt Lane until they renamed it.

I went to a lecture on it many years ago by a Mediaeval historian. He said the Grope Cunt Lanes now tended to be called 'Grape Lane' and similar.

I’m late to the party, but I have really enjoyed it.
I’m a Mumsnet blue plaque would be superb!
