Man fed up with people parking outside his house and then going on holiday from the nearby airport

His earlier attempts at a protest were foiled.

Nice one Crisp

Won't he get wrapped for that by plod ?

classic passive aggressive

A common problem.Least I'd be doing is letting all four tyres down.

A handful of glass marbles up the exhaust pipe would get him rattled.

One of the most bizarre things in life that people think they own the road outside their house. What a cretin.

Very true, Shrewd_dude
There was a time when we were allowed to park our cars without cost or at somewhere other than a big store.

Nobody thinks they own the road outside their house, you just expect that you can park their most of the time. We have the same problem with people parking up and going to work all day from the nearby railway station. Annoying when you come back from shopping and have to unload fifty yards away. Very selfish people IMO. Same people would kick off if it was outside their house.

It's a road without parking restrictions. Why do you expect to park there if someone is there before you? it's not selfish at all. If you want to have guaranteed parking outside your house then pay for a driveway.

personally id jack the car up on bricks and take the wheels off and give em to a local garage

I actually lived about a mile from this road, (in Liverpool). It's not that busy, generally.
It isn't busy. It's also a good half-hour walk to the airport. Ever so slightly less rough than the area closer to the airport.

So they park there, and walk to the airport, carrying their luggage!
Or do they get a tax?

Why not drive to the airport, and park there, where their car would be more secure?

Instead of parking both cars on our driveway I put one on the road and leave one space free on the driveway. i put a large note on my windscreen to say that the person that was parking infront of my house all weekend without moving , wouldn't be able to do so anymore..Now guests can park on my driveway. I dont mind friends of neighbors parking in front of my house but when people park up then walk the length of the street and stay there all weekend then you have to play the game.

I got a note on my windscreen telling me not to park there or I would be reported to the council despite the fact that it was a residents parking space I was a resident and I had a permit visible on my windscreen. I think it was because my car was a pile of junk and there most of the week that irked him.

I remember in the years before the IRA bombing and killing campaign which started in earnest in 1969, it was possible to take one's car up Downing Street, legally park it on the left side of the road (opposite No. 10) and go shopping and no one would bat an eyelid. You weren't allowed to park your car right outside No. 10, but there were no restrictions at parking on the other side of the road. From memory, in the 1950's and early 1960's, there was no restricted access to the road - just the usual one policeman standing outside No.10.

Oh how times have changed!

Seems like they got a taxi which suggests that they are from out of town. Airport parking at JLA is from £32 per week.

Was driving to Luton for flights to Italy.  Bad accident on M1 and motorway closed.  Delayed by 2-3 hours.  Got to Luton within a mile of the airport and considered leaving it up a side street and phoning for a taxi was would have been quicker than parking in the airport car park and waiting for the bus to the terminal.

Ended up missing the flight by about half an hour.  Getting a taxi to the terminal might have made all the difference.

Maybe the cling filmed person in the OP was late?

Seems very public spirited of the chap imo, the amount of bird shoite I scraped off our car this weekend.

And the blokes who's car it is turns up next week and he happens to be a UFC cage fighter full of roids and not happy.
