I think I should sulk. I am obviously a grape, but the quiz classifies me as a banana...
I do like eating both though!

All of us grapes are modest types, too......

Modest 'bunch' is the correct term I believe NDG.

You are the pick of the bunch obviously.

I am not doing test out of protest. Its biased against vegetables.

There is an offence committed when you prohibit somebody from accessing the Public Highway. Not the other way round though. although this can become a grey area of what the problem is - if they're blocking you in, or if they just leave you not enough turning space to get your stretch limo onto the road

This was covered on another thread I think. The key phrase is preventing someone from going about their business (ie getting your car out onto the highway. As for blocking you out of your driveway I gather the cops aren't bothered to do much.

I read that in Brazil (or was it Argentina?) there's a city where the parking tickets are as big as newpapers and stuck on the windscreen with strong glue. Takes hours of scraping to get the thing off.;)

Our works in Salford is withing walking distance of Man U's ground. Despite notices saying we require 24 hour access, people still parked in front of the gates. The police are not interested, the only thing I could do would be to employ the services of clamping company.

However I found a trolley jack and/or a forklift remarkably useful.....

Just tried this optical illusion that's supposed to make the room look like it's melting ... had no effect on me.

Swear words at London Parking Apps and telephone numbers and cr$p.

Been standing next to my car for 20 minutes trying to 'park' it. Saved myself £1 already just by standing here.

Brilliant for people that live here, I'm sure.

Ppfffft.

House in amesbury now sold.

Seen a nother one but needs a super overhaul.

Seen a third that non res p likes.......but its built from asbestos. My protestations that its not the most prudent investment are being shouted down. .

I can see why.....market is pretty dry for something like non res needs/ wants.

I'm a banana:

"You are dependable and solid as a rock. Your friends rely on you for last-minute advice or a steady hand when they need it most. Your sweet nature and reliable ways make you a wonderful best friend."

Not quite so sure what they'd think I am if, for the kitchen sink question, one of the answer options had been 'parsnips dug up from the lotty yesterday which have been partially rinsed off so there's a layer of mud in the bottom of the sink until I manage to get round to cleaning / peeling / parboiling / freezing them' :rotfl:
