😀 Just been threatened with a lawyer

[Jim]

I’ve received a series of emails from a furious woman in Surrey. Her complaint? A motorhome is parked near her driveway. Not blocking it exactly, but apparently close enough to make turning right out of her drive, a bit tricky or near impossible. Naturally, she’s furious.

Why is she ranting at me, you ask?

Because the motorhome has a MotorhomeFun sticker on it. Yes, she’s holding me personally accountable for this parking predicament.

Trying to add some levity, I replied, “Does it also have a National Trust sticker? Have you sent them a strongly worded email too?”

Clearly, she is too angry for humour.

Now she’s escalated her threats. If the motorhome is still there tomorrow, I’ll be hearing from the police for my “misogyny and rudeness” and her lawyer for damages. Damages to what, I’m still unsure, her driveway, her turning radius, or her blood pressure maybe?

So here’s a heartfelt appeal:

If this happens to be your motorhome parked near this woman’s driveway...

Please don’t move it. At least not for a while; let's give her lawyer some blood pressure, too.

Any hints on where in particular in Surrey this is?

 

[Neilh]

Is it an abandoned Eldis

 

[Steve and Denise]

Jim send her a 10p coin and tell her to phone someone who gives a ****

 

[MisterB]

Perhaps Eldis hasn't left the building, just his motorhome..

Would her name be Carole Cripps by any chance ?

 

[MisterB]

Would her name be Carol Cripps by any chance ?

More likely Karen Cripps

 

[swemmy666]

If it has road tax, then she should blame the DVLA?

 

[Vanman]

Is there room for a couple more in front of it? Asking for a friend

And blood money for the lawyer as well.

Bloody hell - that’s where it is!!!

 

[Thornebt]

I imagine she thinks that Motorhome Fun is a hire company.

 

[Garfields]

Nothing like the threat of a lawyers letter to get folk to do nothing.
Lawyers are happy to send letters for people all day long for a fee.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Maybe it's the eldiss that's been parked up for 4 weeks .

I would imagine both the police and her lawyer would quickly tell her that 'rudeness' is not a crime unless you have been undressed in her presence or otherwise cause genuine 'offence'.

Perhaps you should turn the tables and send her a 'cease and desist' email threatening action for harassment Jim? Make sure it includes your usual non-seasonal Avatar photo! You really couldn't make it up.

In all seriousness, I don't think Jim even has a way to identify the owner from the info he holds. And even if he did, there's probably GDPR implications for using it in that way.

Basically, Jim is neither responsible, nor can he provide details for the person that is. So she can waste her money and will get nowhere.

It is a bit sad that lawyers would prefer to take her money, rather than actually tell her that it's a pointless exercise.

 

[dalspa]

Or a dogging group. Lot’s of members (no smutty comments please) have dogs.

 

[BobJayne]

Can we have an auto correct feature added for the many spelling variants of Elddis please!

Maybe put an upside down pineapple on the motorhome step?

 

[David and Sally]

Email her and tell her to come back on 1st April.

 

[meanders]

Or a dogging group. Lot’s of members (no smutty comments please) have dogs.

Makes a change from people thinking its a Swingers or drug users group!

I think Jim is rage baiting us....or am I rage baiting him....not sure but apparently it's quite the thing these days. Happy Chrismtas Jim!!

 

[fat haggis]

Should we start a go fund me page to get Jim out of jail. Or a go fund me page to keep Jim in jail. Just asking.

 

[Northernraider]

Did she give location so we can add It on park4night.

I’d use the oft used, legal expression “f**k off”.

Reminds me of one of the members on here who kicked off big style a few years ago because someone parked near his/her drive when he stopped to go to the shop making it difficult to get out of his/ her drive

I’d use the oft used, legal expression “f**k off”.

Are you referring to the Private Eye case? I'll include it below for anyone who hasn't read it, it's brilliant.

This case is well known among lawyers and journalists, especially the phrase "I refer you to the reply given in Arkell and Pressdram". Basically, it refers to a legal case whereby Mr Arkell was accused by British satirical magazine Private Eye of illicit payments, and they had ample evidence to back this up. After printing the allegations, Private Eye received the following letter:

Solicitors' letter to Private Eye:

We act for Mr Arkell who is Retail Credit Manager of Granada TV Rental Ltd.

His attention has been drawn to an article appearing in the issue of Private Eye dated 9th April 1971 on page 4. The statements made about Mr Arkell are entirely untrue and clearly highly defamatory.

We are therefore instructed to require from you immediately your proposals for dealing with the matter. Mr Arkell's first concern is that there should be a full retraction at the earliest possible date in Private Eye and he will also want his costs paid. His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.

The reply that the Eye sent back was:

We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell.

We note that Mr Arkell's attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you would inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: flip off.

 

[poppycamper]

Perhaps you should turn the tables and send her a 'cease and desist' email threatening action for harassment Jim

Or just send her to 'Coventry'
