Back from London.
Some **** is parking in my spaces so I have blocked them in, only to be told by the driver of a van, it's ok well be gone in 2 mins, I said fine, but I'm not f***ing moving my car again, so the van driver has just driven over a high kerb edge we have around here!!!! I get so fed up of it. I am now thinking of a nice notice this week under the wiper blades, then next week supergluing it on the screen! and I have asked nicely several times before for them not to park in my spaces!
