A lot of people would have moved to Charlton when we were in the prem. less games.
Still doesn't mean i think they can get annoyed about matches.
what about your old neighbour B (who by the way has got himself an earring by all accounts now!) he LOVED people parking around his driveway even though the 'help' parks on the drive in a stupid place so you can't drive in and out if you wanted to. noticed that last home game. He used to write to the club on a regular basis complaining about people parking around his driveway and he wanted the club to pay for some gates to the property he lived in.
Slightly off topic, but I hate people who buy a house on a cricket green or adjoining a golf club and then complain about stray balls being a danger and wanting the club closed down.

Don't forget the people who buy a house next to a church and complain about the bells
What gets me is people who come and live next door to me and then have the cheek to complain because I play banjo til 2 in the morning. If you don't want to hear banjo music don't movein next door to a banjo player I say. Wankers.
You lot think you've got it bad - you wanna try living near the beach. Every flipping chaved up family south of Croydon heads for my road in the summer and not one of them can park their car properly...or if they can they must be deliberately taking up 2 spaces each just to make sure they've got enough room to drive off without having to reverse a couple of feet. Grrr....anyway I've had enough and I'm off to this place instead for a bit of peace...
A fair few years ago I moved out to Crawley. Nice little place, quite near to a non league club and I used to pop over and watch them when the Addicks weren't at home. Quite peaceful it was, except for a few planes flying overhead (they were a bit of a nuisance). Still, it was quiet on Sundays, apart from the bloody church bells pealing (OH the bells......). Then the airport got busier and the cheeky bloody tourists started parking outside the house, sometimes for 2 or 3 weeks at a time. Got right on my tits. Then the little non league club got a bit succesful and the bloody supporters started parking outside my house as well as the tourists. I've had the right raving hump about it all. It got to me one day so much that when I went to the Valley to watch Charlton play Arsenal I parked the Range Rover in some blokes drive up Lansdowne Lane. Had to sell the car shortly afterwards though, never could work out what that foul stench was. Then, this year Crawley get promoted to league two. More bloody parking outside the house and to cap it all there's some twat moved in next door that plays banjo 'til 2 in the morning. I've had it, we've decided to sell up and move to Hackney to get some peace and quiet.

You think you got it bad? My neighbour was banging on the wall at three in the morning the other night, it was so loud I could hardly hear myself drill!
Same as buying next to a pub and moaning about the disturbance.
Ex girlfriend's neighbours were obsessed with their "right" to park their car outside their house, I used to take great delight in parking there, even if he rest of the street was empty, and then suggesting they pay the council the £600 odd to get the pavement lowered and a kerb installed when they complained.
And what about people who buy near airports and then complain about the aircraft noise?
Airports I can understand. The noise levels can change considerably over time, as the airport increases the number of flights and times allowed and the planes used. I lived under the Heathrow flightpath for my childhood and can testify that it got progressively worse to live under then. On my visits back to my family they say it still steadily gets worse. There is a correlation of bad health - physical and mental - for those living close to major airports. And I suppose that the steady effect over years can erode the capacity to cope with the noise and disturbed sleep.
As a young person I hated the BAC11 and Concorde - the noisiest planes.
Has anyone ever thought that perhaps, a friend/relative was coming round in a few minutes ? Perhaps, one of the household had popped out in the car & was due back shortly ? I'm quite sure I wouldn't want to park half a mile away from my house and then try and walk home with a load of bags of shopping. I used to get peed off, where I lived previously & had to park in my road, but about 20 yards away.
I know what you guys are saying & I don't disagree, but there are 2 sides.
Could that not park an easily dismantled fake car in the space while they are out? When they get back in the real car they could unscrew the fake one and put in back in the cupboard.

That fruitloop suzi. I won't miss him.
Here in north america you could part 4 cars side by side on a side road and still get through ha ha. Need better infrasturcture.

Just thank your lucky stars you're not near a golf course.

I've never understood why the royal family, with all their money, built windsor castle so damn close to heathrow...
