ED eyesore (old van outside my house)

[ilondoner]

I don't want to be rude, but how I wish the person who parked their rickety old van outside my house would move it. Whenever I open my front door the sight of this multi-coloured, mobile mashup never fails to annoy.

I'm sure the van is somebody's pride and joy - but it really is too ugly for ED.

[AlexNeeds]

Good thread.

"too ugly for ED"

may I suggest to get a life!

[Loz]

Can't we get it moved to Nunhead? :)

[ilondoner]

Does it belong to you KK?

[Kapt.Kopter]

no, but if it did,and as long as it was road legal I'd park it just where I wanted.

Have you asked your neighbours if they own it?

[ilondoner]

By the looks i've been getting, all my neighbours think it belongs to me.

KK, I'll keep an eye out for the owner and tell him that you are offering his "pride and joy" parking space outside your house.

[KidKruger]

life sure gets tough sometimes.

[Salsaboy]

If it's taxed and parked legally, there is nothing you can do about it.

ilondoner take a deep breath and try and live a little more in the real world...people don't all share the same chocolate box fantasy world you obviously wish to inhabit

plagued by slugs and ugly vans, your life must be pure hell

[treehugger]

Is it a camper van and do you live on or near Barry road (bottom end)?

[ilondoner]

Yes, your right KK. How dare I complain about slugs and slobs. I must think I'm living in Dulwich Village. Next I'll be complaining about the road not being swept.

[Kapt.Kopter]

how do you know the van owner is a slob?

[DulwichFox]

Might look better once the Grafitti Artists have done the Biz.

This OK ??

Fox.

To the tatty van owner be advised that this is a Slug infestion area, it might be in your interest to drive away your van now or the army of slugs are now climbing into exhaust pipes and blocking them causing the engine not to start.

Look for the tell tell silvery slimy trail leading up your pipe, they are also getting into vehicles make sure you apply your safety belt or you might slip though your windscreen.

I do feel for the OP.

Visual pollution is depressing especially if its parked right on your front door it reduces quality of life.

A pity nothing can be done.

[Jessie]

This thread reads like a spoof. 'Too ugly for East Dulwich'? 'Visual pollution'? Makes me want to go out and buy a van and spray paint it.

[Kapt.Kopter]

I'm with Jessie :)

[the-e-dealer]

the view of my classic van is being ruined by a crappy old house built next door to it. Is there anything I can do about it?

[ilondoner]

I think it?s ok to have a moan about an old van parked on my doorstep. Even though I know the owner is within his rights to park wherever he likes, I can still wish that it was somewhere else.

KK you are right. I don?t know that the owner is a slob. In fact, since I haven?t seen anyone near the van since it first appeared, I don?t know if he is in fact a she. I was just going by the state of the vehicle.

To answer your question treehugger I think it is a camper van, but I don?t think it belongs to the place on Barry road that has caravans parked outside. Aren't all their vehicles white.

Dulwich Fox I will pay you to park that van outside KK's house.

[Linz]

Is it wrong that I read this thread with the theme from Our Tune playing in my head? I almost shed a tear.

ilondoner - I fully support your quest and I don't think you should rest until East Dulwich looks like the scene from The Hay Wain.

[the-e-dealer]

I'm only joking! It's F*** horrible having an eyesore outside in the road. I used to get Dulwich Vanhire's choicer vehicle blocking the light and view. Maybe a bit of arson would help.

I would really like to make it clear that the van posted in my last post is NOT Mine.

Nor would I wish to be seen driving it. :)

or have it parked outside my house.

I did have a Mini bus parked outside my house for about 6 weeks. (Never Moved)

As my front garden is about 3 ft long, the van Totally blocked my splendid view of the house opposite.
