David Taylor loved her ferret enough to say...

In Grouch's defence, this post has also been crossposted to uk.comp.vendors, uk.comp.homebuilt, sci.chem and sci.physics in a separate posting.

So while it is asking a question, asking the question to 8 different groups (and maybe more) seems a little enthusiatic to be totally genuine.

Round my way, the police charge you 150 quid to get your car back when its been nicked, let alone parked illegally.

You would then be guilty of criminal damage.

No, you should bloody well apply for a badge and stop being lazy.

you are actually told to describe your worst day. It's never your worst day when they come out though.

you can write on the window with a snail or slug, the slime is supposed to leave a mark that is imposible to move. it wont hinder visibilaty but would be bloody annoying

Then its clear its the ease of access that is the problem .

A remote controlled barrier or garage door is out .

Some simple wire mesh gates with a mortice lock if none of the residents are disabled could work .

Each flat could be given a mortice key to the gates and if they wanted any more keys for friends or family - they could get as many keys cut as they wanted . The question is - are lazy car drivers willing to get out their car every time they wanted in or our the car park just so they could get parked easily ? .

Amusing to have your car damaged by vigilante vandals?

They used to use these sticky papers at work (in fact I *think* they still do). One idiot went into the building and returned with a kettle full of boiling water.

Yes, bang went the windscreen - in more senses than one.

How we laughed.

Yes. There is a system that covers the use of disabled spaces. Either use both or neither.

Commercially printed no parking stickers are glazed on the upper surface, often as part of the brightly coloured surface / print process. This glaze is fairly impervious.

Gum is better because it dries more quickly. Wallpaper paste is probably still wett (and peelable) when they return.

Technically, that's multiposting and a bit more annoying.

But I'm enjoying the thread!

I agree, I'd respond equally illegally and put a block of frozenmilk through your windscreen as a thank you. Much quicker than a court case, and you'd only have to pay the excess on your policy for a new screen, barely worth troubling over, isn't it?

One thing you haven't considered - How do you know the people parking shouldn't be there? Sure, most of them maybe shouldn't, but are you mind reader enough to know if an unknown car is a visitor, health worker, family and so on? Do you really have your nose in every other residents business?

Damn right ! Let's have some more of it. A few good clips around the ear for the chavvery too.

If the person is genuinely then he/she will have a card saying so and will display it - ergo, if no card is displayed then the person is not disabled and shouldn't be in that spot.

Why don't you just get the managing agents for the flats to employ clampers? It may mean a small hike in maintenance charges but the problem will certainly be resolved in a short time.

You need to be careful about letting down car tyre or using strong glue on notices etc...

You could get done for vehicle interference.

The message from Adrian contains these words:

But we were renewing it in a different borough and gave no indication of where the original badge was obtained.

But if you gave them information about the expired badge then someone else is responsible for declaring your wife disabled.

It's the same as renewing your car insurance. It is your responsibility to disclose a change in circumstances.

THis is what our local college started doing !

Care to name them?

At the moment I can find little reason to shop at a supermarket...I've also never ever seen an employee stickering someone for parking in these spaces.

It reminds me of a film, Me, Myself and Irene I think...
