BUS DRIVERS

As many of you know, we have had a garage in Ondara for a year now. We chose our Nave (warehouse) as it has plenty of parking. Its kind of  what us English would in call a cul de sac. It looked like we didn't have neighbours when we viewed it, even better! You know how I feel about neighbours. Once we moved in though we soon realised that we did, indeed have neighbours but that was kool.

We've had a whole year working in harmony with our neighbours, the water company (Spanish company who are meant to be moving but not sign of it. Got a police inspection once and the rumours went around that they were really drug dealers), tile maker (German guy who goes to Richs shooting club), dodgy guy who has his nave permanently locked (probably not dodgy but makes it sound more interesting), sign writers (sell very expensive vinyl) and the bus company (lots of big buses. One of the drivers fancies Mike).

To be fair, we have over taken the place with our cars, for every one that goes out 5 arrive! However if ever there is a car making it difficult for the buses to enter, we move it, straight away even if we're doing something important like messaging friends on Facebook.

Rich & Mike got into conversation with the owner of the bus company last week and he explained how nobody had been allowed to park opposite our nave, in the past. Didn't think much of it as there is plenty of room but the next day he came out shouting and screaming that we weren't allowed to park opposite our Nave because suddenly he's the Fat Controller and Parking Police, which, you must understand is a very important job which he is taking very seriously. Now it seems, from this week, we can't park anywhere except outside our own garage. We think maybe you get a years free parking pass then you get put on a ban. Must some some Spanish law that we don't know about yet. The Fat Controller also has an assistant, Mrs Fat Controller. Now there's a lady that can yell and scream! I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that!

After being severely told off yesterday for parking nowhere near our garage or his, The Fat Controller decided to pick on Brian. Poor old Brian, 89 if he's a day, dared to park opposite our nave whilst he came in to book an appointment. Shortly after he came in, one of the buses peeped his horn in a continuous, obnoxious manner, much more than necessary, as Brian had dared to park in the invisible no parking zone. Brian shot out, feisty old devil waving his firsts and cursing like a sailor, told the driver he could wait, came calmly back in, finished his conversation with me, about his guinea pig (a girl) who he took to the vets as it had a growth on its tummy, which the vet said was heart failure but he took it home and the next day it gave birth to 5 babies. Sadly the babies were deformed as the rabbit it had mated with was its brother which had been to the vet before to confirm it was a girl. Are you following???? So it got shagged by its brother who should have been its sister. He then went outside, got in his car, did a bit more hand gesturing, stared the driver out, who got most upset and peeped his horn some more.Bloody chaos it was.

THEN, they parked 3 buses outside our nave for 2 hours, last night so we couldn't get out! Rich is plotting his revenge, if we have a repeat performance and those buses won't be going anywhere!!!! lol (the revenge thing is just in his head by the way).
