Hi - does anyone know the appropriate bureaucrat to contact who might stop someone from putting cones out to reserve a parking spot on a daily basis? My neighbours and I are all trying to avoid direct confrontation with this individual as none of us are that brave...


Thanks, Otto

Hoi 'em down the road, run away quick, get parked up and practice the phrase "Cones? Don't know what you're talking about neighbour. Laters"

Or if you're feeling brave "Cones? We don't need no stinkin' cones" and then get some good scarpering in.

If the cones are met police cones, then a phone call to the local nick telling them your neighbour has some of their property should quickly sort out the problem.


From a brief "google" it seems the placing the cones on the road constitutes "obstructing the highway" and is technically an offence.

But proving it and enforcing it won't be so straightforward.

Try and use the "Strangers on a Train" technique - find someone else On the other side of SE22 with the same issue - maybe via this forum?- and agree to move each others cones. That way neither of you will be recognised or rumbled because even if you are spotted you won't have a motive. Hey ho, the perfect murder...

What kind of arrogant cock does this!


1. Set up hidden cctv / web cam looking at parking space.

2. Move the cones.

3. Park your car there.

3. When the prick either attempts to beat you up or vandalizes your car, the whole thing will be on CCTV, so you can haul him up in court.


Out of interest, why are you too scared to move the cones? Be brave, move them and see what happens you bunch of middle class, London softies. You have assumed that this guy is some kind of maniac, I imagine without ever having speaken to him... grow some bones and deal with the situation.


If you are a girl,I can understand your fear, if a bloke, you dissapoint me big time.

Fair do's, if you can't beat him, join him. Do a deal, get some cones of your own and you, him and the other neighbour can run a cone maffia on the street. All three of you would be guaranteed a parking space and you'd have this 'hardman' backing you up.


The long term solution of course is to move out of this dreadful town. If something so simple as parking near to your own house is a daily drama, I think you should take the hint.

I think we live in quite a socially diverse area and some people who are not equipped to deal with that.

honaloochie, do you think the world would be a better place if everyone had big dogs and put cones out? No, some men are girls and that does make the world a better place. That said, I would stick with my rugby playing alpha male over a girl any day.


Otto, pm me your address and I will be your stranger on a train and complain about it for you.

What does this mean? Who is not equipped to deal with what?

Elderflower, I've not suggesting anything at all about 'big dogs' and I've just checked and am not 'pro-cone'. The world would be a better place in my view if people paid a bit more attention.

Are some men girls? Seems a little unlikely.

And, Elderflower I wish you both nothing but good things and long life together. Cheers.

"He is a pretty tough guy".


He may look it but if he can't take it as good as he threatens to dish it out then he ain't is he.


That includes letting him watch you displace his cones if you cannot park anywhere.


Have someone with you like your neighbour who's also to scared to deal with this dick, then at least you have a witness.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
