In which THE Collective re-reads some posts and adds a bit they've been meaning to add for a bit

Back on July 5th, I posted this . . .

We both have cars. We take it in turns to use the garage . . . . outside the flat is a parking area. Easily room for four cars.So what's the problem you may well ask if you were a) reading this and b) cared? Well there's a bloke across the road who seems to think that he owns the parking area. He's got a driveway which will fit three vehicles including, let's say just for example, a VW camper, a range rover size 4x4 and a flat bed truck. He just happens to own all 3 of these. And where does he park? And how many places does he take up? A bit ago he went on holiday and left his flat bed truck in the parking bay. So for 2 weeks there were only two spaces left. For about 6 cars. You do the maths. Whatever fancy equation you use, it don't compute.He can park where he likes. It's not my parking bay. It's not my girlfriend's or the bloke next door's or, despite the way they treat it, the 'strange couple down the road who have a garage so use it thank you very much's' parking bay. It's just inconsiderate. And bloody annoying.I'm thinking of using his drive. After all he doesn't. He's parked in the parking area outside the flats.

. . . about parking.

It's not really much better.

But I was amused (?!) to note that in the days following the previous post Master Bates got a friend. Or a mate. Or whatever.

He's started arriving quite early and going off to work with the boss.

Of course he arrives by car.

Which he parks where?

Ahhhhhhrrrgggggg.
