When I was working for an engineering firm a while ago we had a long very wide drive which had adequate parking for a car and allow another car to pass. People took this as an opportunity to use it as a car park. However, delivery lorries did find this difficult to drive down. So I put up notices and bought a clamp and charged. Made over a £1000 in week 1, very little in week 2 an then because they and more came back in week 3 we made over £1500. It was great. After that we had enough to buy gates!

Private property is very different from a public road. If I had problems with people parking on my property I think I'd get a sign saying "Any vehicle parked here will be deemed a gift" :-)

Strange, I'm sure I deleted all that and wrote something. Must be going senile.
