And the plonker of the week is……

The driver of this car, who sometime last night parked it right across our drive. When you are going to be operating all day just the start you need…..

Helen did managed to just squeeze the car out behind the fiesta, but only just – luckily the drive is fairly wide as it had to be maneuvered basically across the driveway. We’d have not got the larger car out of it.

I did ring the police, who were pretty helpful and were going to try and contact the owner. But a little while later I spotted someone preparing to drive off, and managed to catch them.

When I asked here why she had parked across our drive, she looked blank turned round to look at the drive in a sort of ‘drive? who put that drive there?’ kind of way and lamley said ‘ohh, I didn’t notice it’. I don’t think she really appreciated my rather sarcastic response about should you be driving if you can’t spot a drive full of cars from a few metres away though ;-)

Anyway, I had bit of small rantlet at her about it which made me feel much better, she said sorry a lot and looked sheepish (well she couldn’t really say much else – and she was stuck since the wind screen was still all frosted up)

We do get the occasional problem with some stopping to go over to the shop, but this is the first time someone had parked there like that.

  1. Yup, very daft indeed.

  2. it regularly astounds me how dim the “average” driver is.

  3. Grrr! Glad you at least caught them and had the chance to vent – and that Helen managed to get to work ok.

  4. We had someone woman do it outside the shop last week, she parked right across the entrance to the car park. She said she couldn’t find anywhere to park. My car was the only one in the car park!
