the solution is for all 3 neighbours to buy smart cars.

Did you see his picture or read any of this thread?

He was asked to move his car basically because his neighbour is unable to drive properly.

LOL yes I did ta. While the picture is helpful I think that the neighbour is doing the right thing if she cant drive I would have been more **** of if she hit my car instead of taking the time to just ask me to move. I mean if there is a huge gap then fair enough my statement is invalid but the point I was making and stick by was that if someone was blocking her in.

The OP has already stated that the woman's husband can get out fine and dandy. She needs to buy a smaller car or find an alternative form of transportation and stop bothering her neighbours as a result of her inadequacies.

The OP could have told her to bugger off and he'd have been perfectly fine to do so.

One persons 'blocked in' is another persons 'I can get a bus through there'.
From the pictures and explanation the OP is doing nothing wrong.

I have only ever had a disagreement with one neighbour and that was the guy opposite (RIP) who used to peep his horn every time he wanted to reverse out of his drive.
His problem was that he couldn't turn round properly in his seat so he wanted to reverse out without the chance of hitting anything, anybody else could do it easily.

TTIUW BETTER P
go take photos if you want us to absolve you of parking her in.
tbh if it had been me (and I've had this issue before but not the same layout) I'd have just called our local bobby.

5 mins is a very common reply where I come from in Stoke but it doesn't mean you're going to take that long.

Indeed...exactly my point, she just took it the wrong way and said 'no i can't wait five minutes i need it moving now'

meh

Unless the 3 houses can talk to each other and come to some sort of parking arrangement then the simple answer is that you have to move your car asap. Saying I cant move it for 5 minutes would **** me off to be honest as no one normally allow for being blocked in to travel times and if you need to be somewhere on time this would **** most people off.

Its easy looking at it from your view but take into account everyone has lifes.

As above.

They lived here for three years, they know what its like, and no doubt had to asked the previous owners, in fact, it wasn't even her driving the car it was an old man! Who just brought the damn thing!

Nope.

Haha, and what would they do? Scuse me sir, can you move out of the way even though you're parked well within your rights please?

Which I would have done anyway, just she wanted it doing THAT second, I had the frying pan on with oil, I had chicken marinade all over one my hands, so i said wait a few minutes while i WASH MY HANDS.

I didn't just say 'no wait five minutes' and slam the door.

Anyway, doesn't matter now

Ta...it's exactly that, it depends how they park, and how the other neighbour parks also.
