The Law Is An ASS

[Alice]

Thanks for your support everybody. You're probably right Sebster. If I had moved the car they would have done me for something. Blossom, I'm fair intrigued with the swimming pool bit !
The car has completely gone now, not even on the public road anymore. Good. But no call from the police with any explanation about anything. Great public relations. We only pay these people, why do we need to know anything ? Bit disgusted with it all but really glad it's sorted. I had visions of it going on forever.

now we've got that sorted, how do we get all these cars shifted off the pavements and onto the road/

If it happens again, try the Fire Brigade (not on the 999 number, of course!) Our local brigade has an ongoing campaign to pick up AND CRUSH abandoned vehicles, so they don't get set on fire. Even if your local brigade doesn't do this, I think they'll do something if they wouldn't be able to get to your house in an emergency.

There's a lovely Urban Legend about an unwanted car.
A man has always wanted an E-Type Jaguar, but knows he'll never be able to afford one. Till one day, the local paper has an ad "E-Type Jag for sale. £5". He phones up, and tentatively says, "I suppose the car's sold?"
"No," says the woman on the other end. "In fact, you're the first caller."
"And, er, how much?"
"I thought the ad made it clear - five pounds."
So he makes an appointment to visit. The car is there, it's real, he runs a check and it's not stolen. It's even bright red, just the colour he dreamt of. He goes for a test drive - the car runs perfectly. At the end of the run, he pulls up by the lady's house, turns to her, and says, "Okay. I've just had the best day of my life. So if this is a joke or something, just say so, we'll have a good laugh and I'll go home."
"No, it's not a joke. You see, my husband's left me for a younger woman, and last week he sent me a note saying 'Sell the car and send me the money'!"

OW! OUCH! Hell hath no fury, eh? Is this true? I hope so, talk about poetic justice!

One of those allegedly true stories that probably isn't!
Mind you, there was that hilarious incident a few years ago where the spurned wife raided her husband's wine cellar and took all his very expensive vintages around the village, leaving them on doorsteps like a milk round - and that WAS true!

There was a bloke selling his wifes wedding dress on Ebay a while ago with a HUGE story of how she has run off with someone else. He was wearing the dress in the pictures. LOL.
