you dont melt in rain because rain is water and supresses the oxygen need for fires to start and cause melting,

thats why firemen use it.

think you need a more balanced opionion her to get change, yes id like less cars on school streets, but i also accept on days like today frankly im unlikely to be pulling out of my own drive in a monsoon!

For me all 300 kids can come to ours in seperate cars every morning that is their parents choice it does not mean they should be allowed to park illegally block other people in so on and so forth.

Unbelievable, I live 100 yards from an infants junior school and every day I cannot get either in or out of my drive because of people parked across it whose only excuse is I have to park somewhere. I am not an unreasonable person and I am easy to dance with and dont bother as a rule but when I need to get out and I insist on them moving according to you I am causing trouble.

You could not make it up.


Also correct me if I am wrong but I thought the roads were for cars and the footpaths were for pedestrians' with prams probably going to the same school as your kids, but because of thoughtless selfish people what dont care about anybody else park on the path.

read the rest of my opinions on this thread!

I'm not that desperate to sleep!

the reason for this tread was I know of a few that do post on here comes from wreny and its a warning as we have had letters before and some seem to ignore them

We send warnings out all the time sad fact is the only thing that makes a difference is a police presence.

what a fantascially constructive and amusing comment.
my view is dont get involved in the topics around issues if you cant be bothered following it through, reading others opinions, otherwise you lose credability.

snowie has a point and so do you and i.

best stick to the ones about trees eh? or realise thers more than one way to be on a forum???

A slight over reaction!

a massive over reaction?

Nope
a well thought out composed reaction, rerspecting yours and others opinions.

you and snowie are 2 people i like reading on here, cos you can do both serious and the net silly stuff, which frankly is what this place should be all about.

just think on this one your only seeing one side


sorry about the bush bit
ok that was over ther top

The only point you seem to be making is that of sharing a car which would work for some and not for others. Apart from that I think that the rest of your posts' are pointless and personally fwiw I am in full agreement with JT.

fair enough, its called debate
but one of the things debate needs is an alternative answer to the question....... and yours is?

I am. The side of the majority of law abiding parents who play by the rules against the small number of ignorant self self self parents who think they can do as they please causing danger and annoyance to the aforementioned majority.

Im sorry I thought you had just read it. But if you need clarification imo most of what you have contributed to this thread is utter B*ll*cks.

and with that i agree with you
4x4 with one child parked 10 deep down my street every morning!
most of which from houses about 500 yards away!

basically we need a........selfish sods thred!

but having sais that today was exceptional and should have benn treat as such

truce??

The weather was bad but I'm not sure what you are saying people should be allowed to do because of the weather. Mount the kerb? Park on yellow lines? For me that still just makes the whole situation more dangerous especially in the bad weather. No need for a truce it's only a debate!

I take it you work at a school then J.T.

thanks for that
you have solved the problem in one swift stroke

in short

you havnt got anything constructive to add so you use abuse??

sorry mate, not a good contribution to what has been a good debate.

you talk sh*t. I didnt say people should park accross drives. Parking slightly on pavements allows ONE car to pass through as opposed to.......none! We are now told that parking at the side of the drive obscures the view of residents

Read the reply carefully ars*hole!!!

Yes. We have huge problems with traffic and parents. A lot of our kids are in wheelchairs, seriously disabled and need special access to the school which involves coming into the school car park. This in turn is abused by other parents and leads to all kinds of problems.

Your missing the bigger issue. I think the broccoli tree has been dismissed as merely a 'bush'.

For what it is worth, I'd forgive an ambulance parking like that in an emergency. Heavy rain? I'd hope an attempt to use that argument when getting a parking ticket rescinded would result in an increased fine and being forced to walk precious little Cinderella to and from school whilst wearing a sandwich board with the slogan 'I am an arrogant tw*t who is doing my child no good by raising them to believe it is accepable to flout the law and needs of wider society purely because it inconveniences me and my own self-centred universe'.

I'm letting it go but I've logged it!



Seems a pretty good punishment to me.

the only slight problem is thats jts argument!
no experience of traffic managment then??

where I live parking has become very difficult and can relate to the cars blocking your drive way, it got that bad that I fully block paved our drive to enable us to get both cars on the drive

(needs must as we both have jobs further away for public transport another o/t ) to easy the amount on the street, now we get every tom dick and harry parking and blocking the full drive, we have learned where they are likely to be and just ask them for access, but I can imagine the hassle you get daily and wouldn't live near a school for a gold pig
