Ok bit of a weird one here, I could do with some advice.

I live in a pub, and there is a carpark outside. The pub is opposite the Co-op, which also has its own car park. Problem is, the Co-op car park requires some actual turning, and then turning around to get in and back out of. Whereas ours is like a giant layby, allowing easy pulling in/out. Now here's the problem. I wake up at 7.30am, and the Co-op opens at 7am. People keep parking directly beneath my bloody bedroom window, leaving their incredibly load diesel running whilst they nip in the co-op. This might sound a bit pathetic to moan about but its sooooooooooo annoying. As soon as one goes, another pulls in. There are signs all over the car park saying its for pub patrons only but no ones cares.

My first level of defence was to park my works van across the entrance of the car park. This has a mild level of success, drastically reducing the number of cars that park under my window. Unfortunately people decided they would rather shoehorn their cars past the van than park in the Co-op car park. Grrrrrrrrr

Next up I am going to try coning off the car park, although I doubt this will have much effect, cones being more moveable than my work van. The third option is to go outside on car park duty. I would do this whilst wearing my girlfriends pink dressing gown, and just point unimpressed at the cars as they pull in. I am hoping they will be so peturbed by my appearence that they will leave.

If neither of these work Im going on ebay for claymore mines.

Anyone else got any good ideas?

You need a big Wheel clamping in operation sign.

Then Buy a wheel clamp, put it on your car in the car park with a big sticker on the windscreen indicating you've been fined £250 quid for parking there.

If that doesn't stop people parking there then they are stupid.

And it might be worth getting out of bed half an hour earlier just to clamp a couple of peoples cars. That way you can make at least £500 in half an hour.

Then you wont need to go to work. Just go back to bed 500 notes up...

Get up at 7 you lazy git!!!

[pat*1]

This is what i never understand about this country...You can set up a clamping company by buying a sign and a clamp and make obscene amouts of money though what is no more than extortion..but im not allowed to buy a gun and shoot old people that still drive in my town..its just not fair..

Apart from doing something illegal that will only get you arrested...

Local councils have Noise Pollution Officers, and you can get them involved by writing to your local Councillor, or in some cases (see link below) by sending them an e-mail. AS these are the same people who investigate complaints about our race tracks, and can get them closed (see Tibshelf!) why not use them for something useful?

[looneylen]

if its right below your window, curry and a few pints ( night before ) and arse out of the window in the morning, should do the trick

If they leave them running, move the cars!

[gazbaz2]

As soon as they pull up in there nice shinny car, run out jump up and wipe your arse on the windscreen whilst there still in it

[antnee]

or use their windscreen wipers to clean your arse, so when they put them on, they get a nice smear across the screen!
