Sorry I haven't replied on here for a while but I have been off having a life. A couple of points to clear up:
1 - It was parked on the public road because my other car and some friends cars were on the drive so there wasn't room
2 - It is not my pride and joy it is a business tool like a suit. My work (when I start again) demands a smart suit and a car without scratches down the side
3 - I am hopeful the scratch will buff out
4 - My original plan was to have a quiet word with the parents and ask their kids to take care, I just wondered if that would come across as being a moaning neighbour
Other than that, feel free to keep the thread going.
Hora - you were the one who couldn't understand other peoples standards, by not understanding the 'it's only a car' theory - I perfectly do, I was giving you an insight into my way of thinking.
Feel free to take pride in anything you want - I know I do
When my sister was little she knocked a door mirror of a car and the owner claimed for it from my parents. They used the house insurance which on some policies covers for this kind of accident.
I wouldn't bother speaking to the neighbours, things like this happen. It is annoying though.

Are you a chauffeur?
uplink- agree. Everyones different. I do worry that as I get older I will stop understanding that people do think differently to me and its right to think differently. The day I think everyone is wrong for not sharing my opinion will be a Victor Mildew day 🙁
Give big al a call innit...or the bloke from the yellow pages advert from the early 90s. I hear he's branched out from touching up coffee tables.
