But its a fact of life in thousands of residential streets in the UK, mainly streets of terraced houses.

Particularly when, as was the case in a street I lived in, the houses are narrower than the length of most cars.

He should be lucky I don't move in, 6 cars road legal !. Not on the street but it takes some space on the street when moving around.


I guess the username gives it away, one or two are Fords.

We live on a private cul de sac where a couple of houses are set back from the street and there is only really one space for three of the houses to fight over. The woman in one of the houses has solved the problem of other people parking there - she dumped an untaxed wreck with no engine in the space. A somewhat Pyrrhic victory... Thank god we have a drive!

If you park up and never move the car it can be your space for ever!

Looking at his posting history, he does seem to have an air of 'victim' about him.

You can get those "polite notice, no parking" signs which you could put on your wall. As the other posts have said, you've no right to enforce it as such, but it would let any parkers know that you'd prefer them to be elsewhere.

I am afraid such a notice would only encourage some people to park there

Me for example

Hmmm, I had a BMW (one of the 'special' cars listed further above) and always felt like I was letting the side down when I indicated! I always assumed mine was a faulty model, having the amber flashing lights in the corner when I moved a magic stick near the steering wheel......:rotfl:

Does a lack of reply from Paul55555 mean he's probably sitting in his car, in the road, outside his house making sure he keeps his 'spot'?

Possibly...whilst looking up a diet for the poster who'd prefer to drive even to the corner shop (hmm...wonders if we'll now get told, despite lack of exercise, that they buy size label 10 clothes).

Paul just lost his job at the supermarket and wants his parents to give him money for a house? I agree with the parent's on this one because this will only end in tears.

Afraid to say..... Spot on size 10 and that's even when driving to the shop to buy crisps and chocolate :-)
