    I remember that! It was a colossal spaceship but you only ever seemed to see one room. Which was the opposite of other TV spaceships of its day ships like the Jupiter 2 which had far too many rooms for its size.

    Coronation Street's not built right. From the Wikipedia page it says of the Rovers Return pub:
    The living quarters downstairs bear no resemblance to the exterior set of the pub.

    In reality, the living room (the "back room") would be in the middle of the street at the side of the pub, outside the medical centre.

    Since 1960 the toilet and cellar doors on the other side of the building would seem to enter the Barlow's kitchen, next door at number one Coronation Street.

    There is also no obvious room for a commercial kitchen, despite the lunchtime serving of Betty Williams' (Betty Driver) noted hotpot while she was a barmaid at the pub.

    Do you have any clothing with sharp metal bits? Jeans with rivets, that sort of stuff. You could put that on then explain to the car owners that you are worried you might scratch it. Plus, don't you need to put the bins out soon? Can you leave them blocking the space?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Paint your gate bright red or bright yellow or a colour of your choice. It will stand out from the rest of the fence.

    Probably a good idea to put your Private sign back up. That's bound to help, and there's no excuse at all, then.
