The chap in Waltham Abbey does the same, wakes the driver up and tells em to scoot!
I told him in no uncertain terms if he woke me up again i’d drive over his ■■■■■ kitchen and him too if he was in it!!!

Just tell them to shine their burger van up real nice and shove it up their (insert word here)
although they may have a licence to trade from that spot it doesnt give them a right to move people on.
There was one time I was parked over night in a crappy wee industrial estate in Edinburgh. I was just at the side of the road and didn’t see a problem where I was. I wasn’t starting till after 8am the following day so I spent a good 15 minutes driving around the estate trying to pick the best spot so not to cause anyone any hassle (opposite entrances etc).
Anyway I get so fed up with the trucks constantly stopping beside me for ages that I finally get up at just before 7am. There was this prick in a burger van who had set up shop on the other side of the road from me just a couple feet away from the back end of the trailer. Which resulted in it being physically impossible for an artic to drive through due to the small gap he had left.
These ■■■■■■■ burger van owners think they can do what ever the ■■■■ they want and if he had banged my door I’m quite sure I would have told him to get his head out his arse and to ■■■■ off a further 5 feet down the road.
Roll n’ sausage and a Tea please, mate
i had that in a layby in St Ives, Cambs., at 6am, the ■■■■■■ was banging on my door like a good un
he told me to move as i was parked in his spot 
i asked him if he actually owned that particular spot, NO
did he pay rent to the council for that particular spot, NO
am i gonna move for him, NO
i also told him if he banged on my door again like that when my curtains were shut, i would get out and start banging on his front teeth
he very quietly went back to his car and waited for me to go

one of the salmonella vans just off j16 m6, on the A500, leaves a set of cones out overnight to protect ‘their’ pitch.

Because I have the mental age of a twelve year old I’d chuckle merrily to myself as I flattened them.

i wondered what they were there for a few months ago when i couldn’t find a space and they werent ‘protecting’ anything so i just moved them on to the grass and parked up. didn’t get a knock on the door but when i got up and went for my bacon sandwich and cup of tea got a frosty reception from the girl in the van at the end of the layby!
i did wonder why at the time but now i know 
I’ll make sure to chuck them into the back of my trailer next time I pass is that east or west bound? 
west i think it was, heading towards M6
Why not move them to the next layby? 
“You sure you got the right spot guv?”…
LOL

Dont you have a bottle of that special truckers brew. It tends to get rid of pests, especially if it is still slightly warm. I would have definately made my break into an 11
in retaliation only…over the last few years,i’ve had the last laugh done the “BUMP-TRAILER THING”…
Back in 1999 when i was selling my Scania unit, i parked it up for a few days with a For Sale sign in it in the lay by just accross the road from the local VOSA test station. Thinking lots of people coming and going from there in the haulage business would see it.
Its a very large and wide lay by on a B road. Had a regular butty van at at one end and i vaguely knew the owner having been a customer myself on occasions.
I’d parked the truck right down the other end, well tucked in as far out of anybody’s way as was possible.
After a few days i gets a call from this guy: can i shift my truck from “his” lay by as I’m blocking his customers from parking!
When i got round to it i managed to shuffle it down about 2 feet
