Warning This may not be particularly interesting !! :🙂
Since the extension of the residents parking zone around Anfield, Portly and I have been forced out of our usual parking area that we have used for nigh on forty years.
We now park off Oakfield Road, in Granton Road. The area is like a rough bit of Beirut, one in ten houses is occupied and the others are "tinned up", I don't know if they are going to refurbish the houses or flatten them, personally I hope it is the former, as they are good solid Edwardian terraces, I digress.
Due to the lack of residents the council have amazingly seen sense to relax the residents parking zone in certain parts of the road.
On one hand it is actually closer, than our old spot, for two fat lazy bastards to walk to the ground, on the other it is harder to get out of the traffic, we have to leave much earlier for the game, oh yes, and it is less salubrious and less secure given the lack of residents, we did see a soco van dabbing a car the previous home game, with the owners standing in a pool of shattered glass.
We came and went from the match without incident on Saturday, along with middle Quiff, or so we thought........
On Monday I received a call from my car leasing company to say the police had been in touch and could I ring them, about an incident in the Anfield area of Liverpool on Saturday.
Somewhat bemused I rang the officer who's name I had been given. Apparently there had been an attempted break in to the Vlad-mobile.
A local teal leaf , known to the police, and who they had been trying to nail for ages, tried throwing a brick through the passenger front window, miraculously it bounced off leaving a very slight scratch. Just when it was bouncing off plod came around the corner spotted this , felt his collar and arrested him.
What a result a little shit gets caught red handed and no inconvenience to yours truly.
Oh the funny bit is this, in some sort of twisted defense the toe-rag told the police he had approached me when we parked and asked if he could mind my car (which he didn't) and I agreed. I am a bit confused as to where throwing a brick through the window comes into minding someones car.
My problem (and Portly's), is as the little toe rag will be out on bail my car could be a bit of a revenge target. It looks like we are back in the community car park at the bottom of Mere Lane where we tried for a few weeks, further to walk, earlier to get to and a fiver!!
You lads don't know how lucky you are not being able to get to the match !!
Happy Christmas, Hanuka and whatever your holiday is
