Bodings

The latest rumours on the street are that the local council are planning to adopt it and make is less suitable for lunar surface training. I believe the astronauts trained in Iceland, but the surface of our street is extremely challenging and I am sure an excellent preparation.

Nice Mr Next Door knows someone at the council (he is the sort of useful person who knows lots and lots of people in very useful places) and apparently they are going to strip down the road, put in kerbs and drains and generally make it look respectable. It is certainly going to be a lot less challenging for the local children on bikes.

It is also going to seriously impact Nice Mr Next Door and his ability to earn by fixing cars when none can be parked in the street. I also am a little concerned about where dear heart will park our car. It is not very new and not particularly 'flash' but compared to local conditions it is quite new and quite flash and I much prefer it parked outside our house, thank you.

There is no confirmation in writing and I think we ought to be at least have letters giving us a chance to object. I will certainly be objecting if we are charged for this!

All this because Her Three Doors Down kicked up a fuss about a parking space and then decided that she was going to 'prove' she was right. She is going to be complaining bitterly when she can't park her own car. Mind you, I am not sure who she will be complaining to as no-one in the street is talking to her!
