What a ****. What an utter ****. I'm by no means a cop hater but my word you get some prickish ones like that who use the law to fulfill there own prickish needs. Just gonna have to be sly about revenge mate. Do something that could have been anyone.

my neighbours are fantastic to be fair, no issues with parking as there is a huge car park opposite the house, the girl next door is quiet and keeps herself to herself most of the time and on the other side lives a lad i have known for years, he runs a roofing firm and is out most of the day , when he's not working he goes fishing, his misses on the other hand has the habbit of banging imaginary nails into a wall at 8.30 in the morning and hoovering not long after.....i can cope with that,,,,her only other bad point,,,and this is quite sad really..is the fact that she has no kids and she ends up shouting at her husband a minimum of 3 times a week then sits in the garden for an hour or two crying...from the sounds of his answers ( along the line of i ****ing told you 15 years ago i didnt want kids ) I dont think he wants to have children.

I remember when i was about 16 and lived at home, we had 2 cars. One on the drive and one out front. All houses had a drive and a space out front. Some tw@t from down the street (around 40)had 3 cars though and parked wherever the fu^k he liked. He took a shining to outside our house as it was one of the closest to his house. I politely asked him not to park there one day and he was rude and told me that "I can park where the [Poor language removed] i want".

I took this to mean war!!! I came home from work a few days later and found him in his car, outside my house. I parked so close to him that he couldn't get out of the car! He had to climb through the car to get out. He told he that he was going to knock me out. I put down my bag and offered him out, told him to bring it on - a 16yr vs a 40yr. He declined. I went it victorious. My old man watch the whole thing and was in the process of going round with a carving knife to sort things out.

He didn't as i stopped him and needless to say he never parked there again!!!!! TOOL - Bet he was a kopite!!!

This is turning into the neighbour fume thread. The mention of bins took me back ...

A few years ago my mum was frail, living on her own and so didn't have to drag her dustbin down the street to where the binmen collected from ( don't get me started on why the council can't arrange a contract which means that the binmen collect and return all bins ... which wouldn't cost much more ). Anyway, either myself or my sister would put the bin outside the back gate the night before so it wasn't hanging around on the public footpath too long.

A youngish set of tenants from next door took to putting some of their rubbish in her bin. I asked them not to. They denied all knowledge, but carried on doing it for a few weeks. I went round to my mums one day after the collection to move the bin back into her yard. Darned thing was full. I swore at the binmen for not taking the rubbish but took a quick look inside. Me ma's ( I've always wanted to say that ) rubbish had gone but the bin was full of next doors rubbish.

I fumed. At the time I wasn't a member of GOT, so there was no thread for this. Luckily, the wasters that lived next door tended to leave their porch door unlocked so I went back later when it was dark and they were all asleep and emptied the bin in their porch. There were some bits of paperwork which had their names and address on, so I squeezed some of those through their letterbox.

They never talked to me again, but never used her bin either. I felt a mixture of smugness and guilt for weeks. The guilt didn't last anywhere near as long as the smugness though.

Mean people. [Poor language removed] 'em and feed 'em fish.

Well you know what you must do. Impregnate her, get her to claim the condom must have split and she will have her kid, he will get over it as he'll have to, and you will have your peace and harmony.

Now, FHL.

Expertly done. *applauds*

Highway Code section 243 forbids parking which blocks someone's driveway.

The Traffic Management Act 2004 Part 6 Section 86 makes it illegal to park next to dropped footways within special enforcement areas - Without the consent of the occupier of a residential premises.


You also want to check your local bylaws i.e. county council highways department on local regulations.

However in most areas IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO BLOCK A DROPPED KERB ACCESS TO A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

Take photos and kick their arse lid.

I'd kick arse personally especially if I was on call.

i would but for the fact that gary, my neighbour, has the brightest orange hair and the palest skin on gods green earth, i on the otherhand am tall, dark and half way to handsome ha ha

Phone up your local council and have them send round some TRAFFIC OFFICERS.

The [Poor language removed] neighbours will soon get the hint. They'll get a penalty notice. Council will get some revenue.

Everyone's happy.

PS. At a push if the police arn't too busy they can and will come out and tow it.

Again Everyone's happy. Merry Christmas.

Depends on where you live as to whether or the council will do much. Some councils look on it as a bit of a money earner and will be there like a shot, others don't give a flying wotsit.

Police then mate. Under UK Property law you have the right of egress to and from your property legally.

As I said, quote the Traffic Management Act (relevant section, above) to the police.

They have power of enforcement and can tow cars illegally parked or preventing you going about your business legally.

 

[Matt Damon]

The other thing Reidy should do is request the council paint a white line outside his property. This will further increase his position in the eyes of the old bill (law); it indicates cars can be towed that park there and block access

Could also request double yellows at a push.

All true Matt, but the coppers, in general, will only act if you're totally blocked in, and even then, they'll only do it grudgingly.
Double yellow's is a bad idea. It stops you parking there as well.

All your suggestions are sensible but a spud up the exhaust should always be the first option, allegedly
In olden days ( before electronic keys ) superglue in the lock was a nice touch, and would still work nicely on a front door lock
