As some will know (because I might just have mentioned it from time to time), I recently bought an S Type Jaguar car (its f'in awesome!) second hand. Although nearly ten years old, it retains its classy appearance and all in all looks totally out of place where I live.

This factor was my only concern with the car; given that anyone here who appears to have anything better than anyone else will have it stolen, smashed or torched, I planned to park it round the back of my property down a narrow alley which also leads to the doors for the apartments opposite. However, for them it is a pedestrian only access, whilst for me its a vehicle access as per legal documents for the property.

The problem was, my neighbours would have to remove their wheely bins and recycling boxes from the alley for me to get the beast round the back. There is nowhere else for them to put these items where they can easily access them so its always been the case that we've had an agreement they can remain in the alley. When the Jag arrived I asked if they could move them somewhere else so I could get in and out - they proposed a far better solution.

Since they also have a parking space at the rear of their property which they dont use, a space protected by locking gates, they suggested we leave our bins where they were and I use their space. Great, Much easier for everyone and more secure for my monster- although one tenant from the other side of the building complained to the landlord, there wasnt much to be done since its the tenants' space to use.

But, my neighbours moved out last week. Since then I have been told to move the car. So last night I threw all the bins and recycling boxes for the neighbouring apartments into the street (there being nowhere else) and parked the car on my property.

Now the parking lot at the rear of the neighbouring building is large - there is more than enough space for all the tenants' vehicles and about ten more. So we know that space isnt the problem; my Jag is not hindering anyone in parking there.

The problem as I see it is;
Firstly, the landlord of the neighbouring property is a tory and knows I am a lib dem.
Secondly, the tenant on the other side is a tory too and is pig sick jealous of my car.
Thirdly, the "likes of me" shouldnt have a Jaguar in their tory opinion. After all, I'm one of the peasantry - I should be lucky to have a Lada.

Now I am awaiting the knock to ask why the bins are not in the alley but on the street. Then we will see whether a new accomodation cant be reached.
