My next door but one neighbour is a taxi driver, well he runs a taxi firm and has about 5 taxi's parked on his drive and in front of his house most of the time. Two of which are mini vans which he parks in his front 'garden' (paved) and parks them across ways so they overhang his and my neighbours garden by about a foot, so she can't mow her lawn, and you can't see past them to reverse out of your drive properly. And he's accused ds1 of scratching his car with his bike, which he def. did not.
Anyhow, nice neighbours car needed MOT and mending, my brother being mechanic type collected her car yesterday morn. and left his works van parked on the road outside her house. Aforementioned van does look very tatty and crap but is roadworthy and insured etc.
Mr taxi dude came home from morning taxi run and found bruvs van parked about 6 inches infront of his house, so what did he do? Phoned the police and reported an abandoned van! The fuzz foned bruv at work and asked if they'd had any vehicles nicked 'errmmm, no'.......... So wasting police time because he couldn't park in front of someone else's house.....pillock.
As I sit here I can see bruvs van parked there yet again, no need to be there, just to annoy taxi man really. From what I gather it's due to be there for the rest of the week..........
