As a neutral here, you do seem to be the one struggling with the situation. The decision was made without consultation as he was away, he's now heard about this decision and is asking what his best course of action is. I wouldn't say it's overly complicated either?

Couldn't agree more. It's really extremely simple.

What's that famous saying, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't stop omnonono being a ****"

No, he was away when the discussions went on...

**EDIT** But thinking about it, he's been told this many times and is struggling with it, so I'll just bow out

I've been told many times that I was away while the discussions went on???

It's not like that Malcolm in the middle episode where the family came back to find the neighbours always have a big street party every year when they are away or anything is it?

Great episode and a great show. Shame it doesn't feel like it's aged well or some reason but I struggle to rewatch it

true, but as soon as you were told you did not go into full on Alpha mode and demand that you be allowed to move your higher than average priced car. i think this may be the issue the ocuk alpha posse are struggling with. for future reference, as soon as you are informed of something that may possibly negatively impact you then you're supposed to go, immediately, and confront said issue rather than asking advice. i hope you are better placed now to live your life.

Thanks. I also need to learn the part where I go into someone's thread, and tell them what they have done without knowing if it's true, and tell them that it's obvious and that it must be true as they never denied it so I'm right and they are obviously wrong.

What is a higher than average priced vehicle?!

+£17k is the average priced of a second hand vehicle.

Yea same. Still takes me to the same place that a higher price car would mind you. I have 8 seats as well so can be kinda cool to my kids friends when i take them out. I hope they dont realise my suspension isnt on the ground and i shop at Tesco tho .

Nothing wrong with a chevy. You see them all over in USA.

When I bought my car it was worth less than average price But with the current crazy market rates, it's now worth more than the average price. Does that mean I can complain about street closures now too?

The trouble with that, is the average price increased too along with your car value, so you may find it's all about the same in the end and you're still below average.

Have we actually established what sort of car it is?

I don't think we have yet. Any ideas?

OP obviously thinks he is more entitled than anyone else on the street. Already proved that with his other thread where he thinks it's OK to block up the whole street with his cars and deny anyone else on the street from parking outside their property. Maybe the OP should move to one of those executive estates where all the residents are stuck up entitled "better than you" types. He'll get on fine there.

Block up the road lol. I guess reading wasn't one of your strong points. "block up the road" :cry:

Could you imagine a world where you're told you're not allowed to park any cars on the road ever as the tribe of the culdesac has decided only they can park on the road as they want to have nice garden front drives, rather than parking spaces, and then, they tell you, we're closing the street so you need to park your car on the road now if you want to use it

Leeuk, send me your PayPal so I can gift you £20 to buy a "reading for dummies" book, or would you prefer it on audible as then someone else can read it and explain the words for you?

Can I make one request. Capitalise! It's a name/title, should have capitals on each word
