TM, I've just relayed your car door getting knocked to DH. He said now you have her reg no you can report it to your insurance company and they will claim off hers. If you were in the the car when it happened you are a witness.

If it came to it and it went to a civil court, by the balance of probability you would win.

I had an incident today in an A car park

I had just pulled into a space and a lady pulled up next to me. She opened her car door and clashed it into my passenger side door. I was just checking my phone so wasn't looking up and it made such a bang that I jumped out of my skin.

I got out of the car to find my door badly scratched and dented:o

She then she denied it was her:eek:
I asked her to open her door carefully towards mine and it matched the scratch exactly. But she was having none of it. "There's nothing there she said" and toddled off into A. I sat fuming in the car until she came back.
I told her that I had taken her number and would contact my insurance company (I'm not but wasn't going to tell her that)

" Do what you want" she said. She went on to say that hers was always getting knocked in car parks and anyway she used to work in a supermarket and nobody's to blame for any accidents in supermarket car parks:wall::wall:

You couldn't make it up:o

You know that feeling when the penny drops and you realise that you aren't going to get anywhere with someone:o

I only wanted an apology

It left me in a bad mood for hours:o

Did you take pictures TM ?

Oh hampy....now I'm unsure. She needs to get her comeuppance I know. I have her (private) reg no and photos of the cars in situ.

I will think about it.

Thank you.

How is Stanley boy? Is he missing his home comforts?

Yes, have a think, it's so frustrating.

He's fine, has met a little girlfriend who lives next door. She's black and white and very fluffy and 15, so 6 years older than him!

He went in her house today :eek: DH, the lady next door and I were all laughing :rotfl:
