Just another kn*b who doesn't think about where they park.
Farmer should have a big skip by the gate to collect badly parked cars in!Richard

At the weekend someone parked partially on the neighbour's lawn, partially on the (single track, cul-de-sac) road and in doing so made it impossible for us to get out of our road. As a village we've clubbed together and opened up a field for parking just 150 yards away precisely because there are so many smegheads about these days, but no, on someone's lawn blocking the road is a much better idea
We were just heading out so my wife pointed out that a) that's someone's lawn, b) you've blocked our exit from the road and c) here's where the car park is.
Cue a gob-full from the driver. He can park where he effin' well likes.
So I wander out. "Sorry love, he's right. He absolutely can park there. Of course, when he gets back to find two more cars parked an inch from either bumper he may not be able to leave. I'm assuming he has a sleeping bag in his car."
More effing from captain entitled. Wife makes it clear I'm not joking as we've done it before and will happily do it again. At this point smeghead gets in his car and wheelspins off, ripping up some of the neighbour's lawn in the process.
And that's why I've just ordered this:
I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
Should have filmed him and charged him for criminal damage to the lawn.2013 RR Vogue SE SDV8

We have a new Air B&B at the bottom of our Private road, in the last 3 weeks we have had 2 visitors block our only access as they have had to park on the road outside the house whilst they charge up their lecky motors
The parking bay is too far away for the cable to stretch
Should have filmed him and charged him for criminal damage to the lawn.
CCTV only gets the roof of the car where it parks/spins off and the plate is visible on another camera as he turns outside ours to "park". I've told the neighbour I've got it if he wants it, but he's pretty sanguine about it as he's looking to put some posts/chain up and plant that area with spiky plants I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

THAT might be illegal but there are some heavy-duty cat-repelling devices that are similar.

There's a relatively simple solution to this - change the law so that any vehicle not 100% on the public highway or public land is not covered by insurance. Then make all entrances to farms and property private land so that anyone parking there can have their vehicle forcibly moved by the landowner.

I don't understand why the bloke stood there filming it rather than just moving his car and avoiding the agro of having to get it fixed etc. Did he think the farmer was bluffing? Or is there a motive behind it? Claim for emotional distress etc., and try to get a big pay out?Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Indeed why on earth he pulled his phone out instead of saying “ I’m very sorry and won’t do it again and will move my car immediately
Saw this video as well which I thought was brilliant

Plus this must be frustrating for farmers to deal with

Shame they didn't have a proper hunt and give them a head start before seeing the hounds on them.
I own a property in Bath close to a canal and very nice pub. It's a real beautiful location and very popular. However, I get sick of 'entitled' drivers who keep parking on my land and giving ME
