Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Doesn't the Council or police have tow truck facilities on call to remove such obstructions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nottingham is (was?) a tow-away zone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 A cow-catcher on the front of the tram would be better. Let the selfish buggers who think they can park anywhere sort out the damage after their car gets pushed out of the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 The trams run at about 5 minute(ish) intervals it takes a lot longer than that for a tow truck to appear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Tow truck? Its a mini for god's sake, if they stopped bloody looking at it and scratching their heads they could bump it out the way in a couple of minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think thats what they did it was on East Midlands today @ 6.30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Towtruck....Yes.....It would teach the fool a lesson once he had paid all his tow and impound fees to get his car back! The line of trams banked up in one of those photos would indicate they had been there for quite a few minutes deciding what to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkazana 1,736 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 #7 Reminds me of the time that someone had blocked my mini in, in the car park at the Victoria Hotel. We had a rugby team staying at the hotel and when they heard of my problem the lads came out , picked up my mini (with me in it) and carried it over the pavement onto the road 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 In a similar vein, the music teacher at Carlton Le Willows, for whatever reason, left his Mini Countryman unlocked on the last day of the school year, when everyone was looking forward to leave after O levels. Big mistake! A number of us pushed it onto the rugby field and manhandled it so that it finished up end-on between the posts. He left the school next term. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just watched the footage on BBC webpage. She must have left the handbrake off as the lads rolled it out of the way! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-30138390 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 What a dimbo, but as she was not from Nottingham, she would have no idea what tramlines were for, and obviously Nottingham is the only place in the Country which uses double yellow lines to denote a no parking zone. I do not of course make any point regarding the gender of the driver as that has no bearing on the story!! (Takes cover behind sofa) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 last week the trams in Strasbourg came to a holt, because the water board dug up the road, next to the tram tracks but someone forgot to tell the tram company, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
