You wouldn’t mess with this guy. Via the News Shopper.
If you need a parking space in Charlton, south-east London, maybe don't park outside the house with a massive cannon.

Retired army captain Paul Davis, 67, got so annoyed with people parking outside his house that he's put a cannon next to his front door to deter motorists.
While it looks imposing, the cannon is in fact a prop from the TV show Hornblower . But Davies says it works anyway.
He told the News Shopper: "No one parks there now. Not if they've got any sense.
"The neighbours think I'm eccentric. I should have a blue plaque made for the wall saying 'an eccentric lives here'."

Davis, who served in the Royal Engineers and also appeared alongside Patrick Stewart in the TV show North and South , said: "I must get two or three cars pulling up a week to photograph it, because it's something unusual. If I phone for a cab, all the local drivers know it. They ask 'are you near the cannon?' It's a landmark really."
