    It’s also had an advisory for NSR tyre wear since March and a lot of MOT fails so probably falling to bits too

    Any link to the actual tweet?

    See: https://twitter.com/lchessar/status/1445810655269900292

    Streetview from July 2019 (and two previous years) is quite interesting, pre-DYL and with a lovely "no-one can park here but me!" white line that was installed in late 2016. She may be feeling that loss, still, given the house has no driveway - even though the current Streetview shows the car parked in one of the spaces across the road. While there is a pedestrian island almost right at the necessary place, it's clearly just 'inconvenience' that led to the latest turn of events.

    One day someone will deck her, and that will be the end of the problem.

    (not suggesting as a course of action, just a likely outcome)

    i am intrigued that she seems to have a go at female cyclists.

    or perhaps only female cyclists comment on her parking ?

    Is the white line in the streetview not protecting the kerb space so that people don't park next to the crossing island? Yellow lines require a TRO while the white courtesy line doesn't.
    Of course this driver doesn't seem to understand courtesy.

    I blame suz Weber rhetoric for this

    Perhaps she only has a go at females because she's confident she can "take" them, but is less confident of her ability to clock a man?
