secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Pure class, had loads when we lived at Hunstanton in the 1970s, they used to use the unmade road at the back as a free carpark, used to stop us opening the garage doors, despite my dad painting "No Parking" on them. So he fitted 2 bits of angle iron to them, just used to walk in without looking then throw them open, put a crease in Jags, Bentleys, more than one company Ford and Vauxhall. Used to get them hammering on the door saying they were going to sue, my father just used to walk down the garden with the German Shepherd on a lead, point out the writing and say "If you can't read that you should not be bloody driving!" They used to shut up and bugger off. My dad had the boat out once and a TR6 parked in the back garden, matey boy and his bird get out and bugger off. We went down, saw that the tax disc was out of date. We rang the police up and said it had been abandoned in our garden. Cops came round, agreed with us, called a recovery vehicle, towed it. His face when he came back, classic. Ran up to the house, hammered on the door, said "My car's gone. Did you see who stole it?". "Yes the police did." "Why did the police do that?" "Read this..." Turns out he had driven down from Leicester for a day out in Hunstanton.... Hell of a journey to try and make at 8pm on a Sunday night! But the classic was one muppet who parked in the same spot, my dad put the car and boat in front of the garden and garage. He then chained the boat trailer to a fence post, he immobilised the car, locked it, then we all went out in his mate's cars and came back at about 2am. Hubby and wife in car, yellign and screaming, 3 snivelling kids in the back and we walk past and start going up the garden, he starts screaming "What about us?". My dad replies "£15 to get out!" Bloke replies "£15 the car parks aren't that much!" my dad replies "Why didn't you park in one then?" Bloke rummages in pockets, comes out with about a tenner so dad lets him off a fiver. We also had fun letting tyres down, then hiring the foot pump to them for a quid a time as the garage at the end of the road would be closed, happy days... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Did not lock anyone in, blocked them in, not locked, how would you like it if people parked in your garden? Said private no parking everywhere. When we went out we put the car in a car park, still do! Reason for getting the dog out, stops any trouble. If the guy had got tax on his car we could not have reported it as being abandoned. All their fault, at least next time they would probably use a damned car park, not somebody elses garden and parking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Angle iron, alsatians, grassing, tyres down, extortion ................ what a top chap. Seriously if you'd tried any of that in a real town, you'd have woken up to the smell of an alsatian barbeque built using your house as fuel! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
