Car parking outside my house

[intexasatthe moment]

Louisa can I ask if the boiler got fixed and ,if you were happy with the service ,which central heating person you chose ?

[Atticus]

Louisa, your abhorrent level of self-righteousness has wained somewhat in an attempt to try any and grab back the moral higher ground, which was never yours in the first place, really. You strike me as the kind who'd be peeved if anyone parked outside your house regardless of bins left out etc. It seems your overwrought sense of entitlement was given the green light by the red Fiesta, witness the need to post and vent.

[Seabag]

TheCat - I absolutely appreciate that SOME people like me take advantage of a grey area such as this (or black if the street is tarmac and not concrete) Yes there will always a selfish person like me out there who thinks it's acceptable to reserve spaces for their convenience. That's absolutely right and i'll shout you and everyone else down if you don't agree, i'll even resort to "la la la i've got my fingers in my ears" if you persist But in terms of your point about common decency being a two way street. Well if you stand on that two way street long enough , Ill plough into you on my way to "MY SPACE" sadly some people in this world are ultimately ignorant and fail to move themselves in the face of an oncoming speeding car which i'm driving. Well get into someone else's shoes, you lemon. The elderly woman who's lost her husband and been forced to move into a bin , but not outside of my house, oh no MY BIN WAS THERE FIRST. She can move into HER space outside her home for example. I know a "note to self" would help - and in future I will do that and it may have a different hallucinatory effect. I just cannot understand anyone else's point of view & how anyone could have the sheer audacity to have one and remove a bin. It just dumbfounds me.

SJ - this is absolutely madly unfathomably AM I TALKING TO MYSELF HERE serious I have no reason to take a rise out of people who make it their online currency to be confrontational with me because I make it my online currency to be confrontational with them and have opposing opinions to them. It's a lame get out clause but i'll use it anyway. I am the innocent party here is what i tell myself, do not forget, I was the one inconvenienced by half an hour and thats a whole 30 minutes , but who cares in the end as i've wasted longer on here than that by a country mile. And even if I wasn't- it's just the lack of morality and hot water and a parking space. So many people in ED slip into immorality or the bath, but not me on that day, on a daily basis and frighteningly do not even see when they are doing it! Bizarre.

tfwsoll - no RED cars in London? So basically, we say, let's not own a RED car, that way one couldn't park IN MY SPACE EVER AGAIN .What about visiting people from the continent with RED or pretentious Rouge cars are they banned from using them here as a result? If no one owns a RED car in a city the size of London the knock on effect to the economy would be catastrophic and the RED paint industry would dry up, literally. Think of all the unsold RED vehicles? Think of the strain it would put on an already crowded public transport network of RED BUSSES? I think on this one I'm onto a winner. No RED car ownership in London would lead to the demise of a great city but preserve MY non existent parking space

And that's all that counts. I SAID THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS

Louisa.

Louisa, I'm sending you a big hug. It wasn't unreasonable to stick a bin outside your house, we've all done it on occasion even though we know it's not an entitlement, just part of neighbourly give and take. I can understand you feeling annoyed that someone moved it. Not sure why this merits such an outpouring of vitriol and bullying.

I agree with Robert Poste's Child.

Louisa has made her point. She's been slapped down and put in her place [or so some people might think].

Now lets give her a break.

[Seabag]

Yeah, let Louisa give us a break

And a parking space, all of which she has the power to do

Sheeeesch !

[StraferJack]

So let me get this straight...

Louisa = seabag?

[StraferJack]

This changes everything

[Pugwash]

When we had to get furniture moved from my in laws house, we asked the police to put out their cones as very narrow one way street with limited parking. When the removal van came they could only just squeeze in the spot. We had some aggro from people further down the road as they usually parked outside in laws house as they thought we had nicked the cones from elsewhere. We gave them to police officers name and phone number who arranged the space and they backed off. Must stress this was Lambeth not Southwark. Removal van was gone within a couple of hours.

It's probably more complex than that.

There may be other personalities that we don't yet know of. Some may even dislike fizzy drinks.

"was this thread started by Louisa

a) to reel people in/cause outrage

b) because she was genuinely outraged

c) combo of both? "

...therefore option a(i)

The duplicity is disappointing and devalues legitimacy of 'views' on other threads by some degree.

Does that constitute what is called 'Troll' ?

Thank you pibe's

It felt like i'd been fingered by MI6 for a while there

Now where were we ?

man that parody is scarily good

Every funeral I've been to blocks the street for a short while (not London however)

A few big ones choke up the M4 motorway (near Margam Crematoriom)

Nobody has ever complained - everybody is patient.

Clumsy cut & paste of Louisa's post, I assumed just the typing in block capitals was Seabag's, then looked like the original signature had been left in.

Am I the only one wanting to know if the boiler problem was fixed?!

Louisa

[Zebedee Tring]

Louisa, I haven't read all the pages of this thread, but the position is quite simple. If you park on street, the space in front of your house is not your own that you can reserve whenever you want. The only circumstances in which Mrs Tring and I would put bins in the road outside our house would be if a skip was being delivered or if a scaffolding lorry was unloading scaffolding. If we hsve a plumber or other workperson, they have to take pot luck, although if we happen to be parked near the house we would move so that they could park nearer.

"although if we happen to be parked near the house we would move so that they could park nearer."

Classic.

That's exactly what she did.

[Seabag]

This thread is dead

Move y' bin along Numbers, the hearse needs to park and load the casket

[Zebedee Tring]

Sorry numbers, you've got it wrong. This is not exactly as Louisa did. Our situation is different.

Louisa's initial post read "...The chap is on his way over between 4-6 but just now the space usually occupied by my car which I had made free (I moved my car and put wheelie bin to reserve space for plumber), has now got a disgusting looking red ford fiesta parked in it ..."

We wouldn't put a bin to reserve the space for the workperson, which was what Louisa tried to do. We would only move our car when the tradesperson arrived so that he/she could park there. However, unlike Louisa, we don't regard the parking space outside as ours alone, which we can reserve for anyone who visits us. If we can't park near the house, which very often we can't do, that's tough.

[numbers]

OK then, consider my bin well & truly moved along. (oops thanks for that ZT, apols if I got your previous post wrong)

When's the sequel?

[tallulah71]

Louisa for the first time, I actually agree with you. My next door neighbour has a huge driveway. Of which she has not partaken the whole of Xmas. Because I took her to task on this (because my aged mum couldn't park on my bday on 28th) she threatened to call old bill. I said don't be silly, girl- I just don't understand why you need 3 spaces: driveway, across driveway, and curbside. But she did! Massive sense of entitlement some rich people have.
