I think different areas have different rules, here in Havering, if somebody parks across your driveway (dropped kerb ) you can phone the council who will send a enforcement officer, but you can park across with permission of the household

In Scotland the word "havering " means you're talking a load of bollocks.

Does it have the same meaning in englandshire?

No, it isn’t allowed but are you aware that YOU also cannot park over YOUR dropped kerb?

Yes you can, or so I was told by our council enforcement officer. Personally I can't because we have a yellow line across ours.

I read somewhere that when The Proclaimers tried to release their song 500 Miles in the US the censors there were very concerned about the meaning of “haver” and “havering”.

You might want to move this thread to an area not open to non paying members.

I agree.

Why?

Because the area of the forum this thread is on is available for any of the public to read, if she does discover this thread it would upset her and there's no point in antagonising her is there? Put it in a restricted area and, whilst I appreciate that some members won't be able to see it there, at least there'll be no chance of Jim having any issues if the 'lady' decides to take things further, even though he's done nothing wrong it still could cause him aggro.

I suspect, as has been said previously, that the lady thinks the MH is a hire one due to the sticker and that the hirer is causing a 'nuisance' for no good reason but not necessarily realising what they've done to cause an issue for accessing/exiting the property concerned.

I'm all for a bit of fun but having had this very situation, and worse, ourselves over a long period of time I can tell you it can be very, very annoying.

I well remember riding on one at Jan's sister's house in Boston USA. Her husband has a PhD in chemistry, and was Corporate Strategy director at Rover Cars before moving to Boston. On attacking the 6 acres of grass, I quickly discovered that the machine did not eject the grass thru the chute. On examination ĺ could see that blades had been fitted the wrong way round, by said PhD husband...

I refuse to pander to Karen's... I think Jim should do the same.

Maybe if she can read this she'll realise what a complete muppet she is.

Unlikely, a former boss was married to one. She absolutely insisted Dyson hoovers were sent out of the factory preloaded with dust as there was no way it could have picked up all the dust visible in the canister as she had already hoovered the carpet that morning with her usual vacuum cleaner.!!

OR, she could be a paid up (disgruntled) member?
That's how she knew Jim was the BOSS?

Is that the reason you always bring that VERY young lady to the Funster rallies with you!

Never mind the pineapple, what you really need is a couple of washing machines.
(I have a spare one if your stuck!)

Stickers on on vehicles reminds of the time I asked a bus driver in Liverpool if his bus was going to the Pier Head because it says it on the front.
He replied “it says Persil on the side but it’s not going the launderette”.

My dad was a bus driver at one point . I remember his telling us a similar story. Someone asked the same question and he replied " it has India on the tyres but I'm no going to india"

I'm almost certain he stole that from a comedian on the TV or something

Sorry but I don’t agree. There’s much more offensive material all over the internet that affects people and particularly children, that is immoral but sadly not illegal.

Who just may do a little check up on this site
or indeed the complainant herself, who despite being deranged, may now have a case of reputation.

If she has gone to the level of finding the email address of the Glorious Leader, she is perfectly capable of also finding the public forums.

Some minor discretion may be a good idea.
It will not affect the rest of us.

Sorry I disagree there is absolutely nothing she could do as no laws have been broken.

Not being funny, but you're the one in post #59 above who called her "deranged".

That's the only potentially actionable comment on this whole thread that I can see.

Better get talking to your very very expensive QC!

He/She is unlikely to be heard in court if describing his/herself as a QC and not KC

Keep up at the back there.

As a former bus driver nearly 50 years ago people would often ask if we were going to !!! As that’s what it said on the front, (forgot to change destination) my reply was it says India on the tyres but I’m not going there either.
