I know it’s perfectly legal to park outside someone else’s house, But when said house is on a corner and opposite a Junction I think it’s a tad cheeky.



Oh and did I mention it’s a Fecking Double decker bus rofl

( yes I know the fence needs painting, and sorry no sweeping driveway, I’m poor wobble )

You have a bigger problem than that, it is blocking your driveway.

Isn't the usual advice round here to use a trolley jack to push the offending vehicle into the middle of the road, then call plod? biggrin

I’m not sure my Trolley jack would cope, and I don’t have trays big enough to stick under the wheels laugh

If your house is on a corner, how come you have neighbours on each side?

Oh, and as that's obviously your back garden, where's the trampoline? You some sort of snob or somefink?

That’s my front garden, the hedge separates the front from the wrap around lawn it’s not a boundary. ( you can’t see the fridge that’s under the front window )
The Trampoline is round the corner next to the dog toilet area. biggrin

Get in touch and ask them why it's there. Your estate looks a bit council, it might have been stolen and dumped rofl

Oi you cheeky Bugger, at least half of it is housing association.

If he makes a habit of it I’ll have a word with him first.

It's on the footway. Most police forces treat this as worthy of a ticket even for a car. For this bus, it's well OTT.

I had noticed that too hehe
I’m hoping it’s a one off, he normally parks further up the hill.
The worst part is I gave the git a set of Ramps I didn’t need anymore not that long ago laugh

I stopped being a bobby 16 years ago so am not up to speed on the legislation, but in my day, bus operators required a licence, and the licencing authorities required certain infrastructure, part of which was areas where they could park their buses and anciliary vehicles. Recovery vehicles could be taken home - lots of complaints about them - but I'm certain that buses could not.

They would have noticed when they were ripping the stairs out to weigh in.

I’ve got an old fridge freezer on the drive we can hide in.

If it has got a NI plate ring Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill of Sinn Féin and tell Michelle you've spotted another bonfire that the PSNI should "do its job" by removing the bonfire. If nothing happens set it on fire and say you are supporting the loyalists of Tiger's Bay.

Simply solution( and I never said/posted this) . Empty fag packet. bit of rag dipped in diesel( well busses run on it). Track laid back to fag packet, with a bit of space to prevent sparking over. let it smoke, then phone fire brigade. Job done. Buss gets towed . Owner gets a ticket. police have reason to act. All happy, except for owner, who's got to pay up.

After a bit more wine and thinking, if arson isn't you thing and you've got a half decent mobile phone camera, I think it is remake time:

The story will star Ron a fresh faced gentleman who is a hit with the girls and if it wasn't for his great love of god would undoubtedly marry one of the beauties, and I really can't stress this enough, he isn't a paedophile and he hasn't been involved in any sexual offences .

Ron works with friends Colin, Simon and Edward who are bus mechanics at sharpes in Nottingham. During a miserably wet British summer (almost every summer then) lunch break, Ron arrives, having persuaded sharpes to lend him and his friends an double-decker bus (not a AEC Routemaster as it wasn't one the original).

They convert the bus into a holiday caravan, which they drive across continental Europe, intending to reach the South of France. However, their eventual destination is Athens. On the way, they are joined by a trio of young women Sarah, Amanda and Mumsie.
The chums meet a runaway singer, gender neutral, Beryl, themselves being pursued by their mother Sharon and agent James.

Of course post Brexit they can't stay for more than 90 days and all that singing is too close to work and likely to get them deported.
