A woman was stunned after a neighbour left a note saying her car belonged in a "dump".

The message suggested that Julia Laursen's Skoda had made the street in the Isle of Wight "look like Beirut" and suggested that she should remove the vehicle from the respectable road.

Laursen had innocently parked on the street for a brief period and decided to share the message on social media.

She wrote on Facebook: "I was just so shocked when I saw it.

"I mean who writes that? And the grammar was bad too. It's so snobby.

"I just felt like it was so outdated with people making fun of my Skoda. It was funny."

However, Julia now admits that she can see the funny side of the note.

She explained: "It's just so funny that they thought my little Skoda wasn't respectable.

"I think they need to see what a really awful car is.

"It was just such a funny note.

"The note just became more and more hilarious the more I looked at it."
