At home we have a large farm yard :D, so you only have worry about hunt followers blocking up the roads once in a blue moon and the upperty neighbour going on about people (as in lorries that can't phisically get round without) driving over the small grass tiangle in the middle of the village.

At college the front garden of our student house has been tarmaced so plenty of space for up to 5 cars + a garrage (though thats full of bicycles and about 4 sets of landy wheels/tyres).

The neighbours don't complain to much about the rest of the parking (as in when several other studests turn up) though one did ask us not park on the other side of the road so as not to restict acsse for her hourse lorry. She asked nicely so we duely obliged.

One querry, we have drop kerb on to our drive, but not the full width of the drive, so to park 4 cars abrerst you envariably have to drive over a standard kerb. I expect this is technically not legal :?:

Hi stick this on the window and wait for the rantings via curtain window good fun.


           PARKING VIOLATION

                      TOWN---------------------------------------

                      VEHICLE-------------------------------------

                      TIME-----------------------------------------

This is not a parking ticket but, if it were within my power, you would receive two. Because of your bullheaded, inconsiderate feeble attempt at parking, you have taken up enough room for a 20 mule team, two elephants, a goat and a safari of pygmies.

The reason for giving you this is so that in future you may think of someone else, other than yourself. Besides I don't like domineering, egotistical or simple-minded drivers and you probably fit one of these categories.

I sign off wishing you an early transmission failure (on the motorway at about 4.30pm.)

Hi this is from Salford councils site But i am sure it's applicable to most other councils Though the prices might be different.

Might be worth considering. As it would at least give you a reference point as to where your driveway entrnce starts and finishes.

When I get hassled for parking I point out that ownership of their property finishes at their gate, and not in the middle of the street.

I don't have to worry about it anymore moved to the countryside.

Only problems are getting the shopping. 60mile round trip to local supermarket. 30 mins to local shop in opposite direction so when they run our of milk it's an hours drive the other way then back to the house.



Sounds like my idea of heaven, don't reckon SWMBO would agree  :lol:  :lol:
Have space for both our cars, on the drive and get on great with the surrounding neighbours, though the peace and quiet and solitude of living out in the wilds would be just up my street.
On the other hand the local Chinese takeaway is nearly on my doorstep, hmmmmmmm  :roll:  :lol:


Shuee the answer is do what I did learn to cook chinese style meals. :lol:

trouble is for me its a shared drive so not on the public highway. people that cant drive a nail in a peice of wood are the ones that are usually the ones to block you in, alan.....
