I'm amazed after reading through all this that so many people think it's fine to park outside someone else's house thereby preventing them from parking? I realise it ain't illegal but surely at the very least it demonstrates a huge lack of courtesy and thoughtfulness?

I live in a terrace and we have 1 car (a 4x4 for all those who hate them) which fits very nicely on our frontage. One side of us has two cars and theirs often encroaches on us but not to the extent of preventing parking.

However, on the other side there are two households with 3 cars each. I'm often caused to park quite a distance away by their cars (like last night when I had a carful of stuff to shift). Do you really believe that's ok?

Of course, its illegal for three people in one house to own a car each. How dare they? I shall be writing to my MP.

Brilliant thread- howled with laughter at the cones in the garden and revving the nuts off a yellow metro- made me weep !

Can you prove that? So how do delivery drivers get on, or taxis, or visitors?

I'v elived in a cul de sac and there were no such restrictions. After all a cul de sac is just a dead end road and no different to any other.

This is how to park your car and show consideration for your neighbour if they keep moaning about you parking in their road http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7905/modern26385x236322401a.jpg

This is a technique I use occasionally.

If the people who think that the unmarked space on the public road is theirs then they should pay for it. Pay rent to park their car on it and pay more to maintain their little patch of England.

I have an idea - perhaps the OP should move to an exclusive house in a gated community and that way the riff raff will be unable to park outside his house all day because they won't be able to get past the electric gates.

Yes, its frustrating that people take up space in front of your house but rather than concentrate on what they are doing, you should try and find something else to occupy you e.g. gardening.
