Parking rights

Huh. At some point last night, someone lifted the trike off the parking space in the road and left it outside my next-door-neighbour's front door, blocking access to that house. I have no idea why, because moving the trike doesn't create enough space to park a car - though I suppose it could be related to the incredibly loud motorbike I heard revving up at length this morning.

I wish we could buy some sort of parking permit so that motorised vehicle owners wouldn't resent our parking in front of our house so much... But we can't. So idiots will just move it out of their way because of the perception that roads are for cars and cars alone. It's not even a matter of who pays for it, because a resident's parking permit is free. Bah.

However, a very nice man moved it back off the footpath and into the road, because I went out to see where it was and he was there; he'd already moved it *along* the footpath so that it wasn't blocking the doorway any more.

Oh well. Perhaps in future we'll park it near a drain cover and chain it to that.
