Hazel - it's a rule in Belgium that you may not park in front of someone's drive or garage access. If you do, you can be towed away and incur loads of costs.
Maybe your unwanted parkers are just observing the same logic. The answer is to park your own car there first.

When I was little my great aunties would take me on holiday with them and in one tiny two up two down that they rented for the summer there was a tin bath hanging on the yard wall. I was fascinated by it. There was also Izal toilet paper in the outside loo! They lived in a really nice normal house the rest of the time. Why would you do that?
I had another aunt who was very laid back and easy going to the point of horizontal. She's the lady who could keep this thread going for ever as she taught us all our manners (including my mum who was her much younger sister). The only time aunty P said NO and meant it was if you went anywhere near the mangle!!!! She had an ancient washing machine (ancient even in those days) with a lid that caught the clothes as they came through the mangle and dear help the child that went near it!!!
She had a brass letter box that was polished every Friday (my job), a quarry tiled floor, a wooden worktop that had to be scrubbed and little bags of "blue" in a dish! Oh and a Belfast sink of course. We just called it a sink!

Plant Pauper, I will loan you my little Tank, a gentle crush puts them off parking where they should not.

HaHa Frank...as I was typing that I was thinking about Gruber's little tank and the damage I could do!

But it was good as tracing paper, Hazel, especially when you had to do maps for geography
I can remember using it in maths for tracing but I can't remember what for. It certainly wasn't any use as toilet paper!!!
