You know the type of thing

You buy/ rent a house in a nice little village. To keep the place neat and tidy you make sure you park your car out of the way around the back

Someone up the road buys a house with no parking and decides to keep their car outside your house.
How much would it get to you?

I read this story in the Daily Mail. I don't think it was any of the residents who were complaining. To be fair, they were behind the owner. It was in fact the tourists who were complaining about the car ruining their photographs. Idiots. Someone even mentioned the National Trust not being happy either. What the f*ck has it got to do with the National Trust? As long as it's parked legally, I don't see the problem.

What a load of crap. I'm pleased to read that all the local residents have come to his defence, rather than also being so daft as to think he's somehow spoiling the aspect of their village by having the sheer unadulterated cheek to try and live a normal life in it.

How much of an ahole would you need to be to go and ask someone to move their car, parked outside their own home, just so you can take photographs without it there?

Yes, the Corsa is parked outside the chap's home. It's just within the edge of shot if you're trying to be a tosser taking photos of some picturesque cottages.

He lives there, most of the ones moaning don't, don't see why he should put himself out to suit tourists.

Article says he could park round the back. It would be most gentlemanly if he did that instead. However, if he can't for whatever reason - and it's his gaff that he's parked out, then it's his house, he can do what he likes.

If national trust were that fussed, they'd have double-yellow lines painted up.

In some ways I think it makes quite a cool photo - the very old and sober twixed the very modern lairy - and an elderly grinning old man owning both. Brilliant! smile

They do seem to believe that they have a special right to have perfect landscapes to photograph.

Just musing what car wouldn't look as out of place there - Morris Traveller, Classic Range Rover/Landy?

Anything more modern?

perhaps he could upset the twitter ttterati by petitioning to have the large area of land behind him in the picture of him and his car turned into residential parking. wink

Seriously! tourist moaning that a residents car is spoiling their view of someone else's home!? First world problems and all that ehh?

The car park around the back refers, I think, to the NT-owned row of cottages to the left of the picture. AIUI, the Corsa belongs to the guy who owns the cottage on the right.

Mind you the car in question appears to be a Corsa. Therefore it should really be burned or crushed or dropped from a great height.

All the other houses where do they park?

I stayed there before for a very long weekend Chipping Campden a lovely place.

Top place to stay is Cotswold house - utterly stunning and the food (lots of local game) is out of this world. The local beers are pretty special too.
