Sandy ...this was happening several times a week to me until recently...always the same car, driven by a tarty looking young women. We had a very frank exchange of views on this situation last week, extremely frank indeed, and she has never parked it there again !
Umm ...I saw her and you didn't. I approached her politely on 3 separate occasions and every time I had a torrent of foul-mouth abuse. So I thought that would give her a taste of her own medicine and it seems to have worked.
...she was blocking my neighbours drive as well and the view from my house is spookily similar to Sandys ! She was behaving ignorantly and she deserved all she got.
You have city by-law operatives, Stuey, we have pot bellied types in cheap, ill-fitting uniforms to tell us there's nuffink they can do abaht it mate.
I'd be tempted to get a hold of one of those emergency rescue hammers, the ones with the point for the efficient breaking of automotive glass.
Even though it's blocking your driveway they can't do anything about it?...Crazy. Anyway, the ticketing, the towing, and the impounding would cost the owner around 200 pounds in your money, and it would be an extra 50 pounds or so if they didn't pay the total fine within 24hrs.
