Bloody traffic wardens
 

Ive just gone to pick up a parcel from the Mrs, as i stopped and phoned her a warden came over and said you carnt wait there so i moved the bike into a quiet corner off the road and out of anyones way he follows me and says you carnt park there either i said I'm not parking I'm just picking up a parcel from my wife but again he says not here so i go down the road and stop to tell her Ive had to move so it will have to be a different place and yet again the pr!ck walks all the way down whilst I'm on the phone so i turned around and went up the road turned again so's not to stop and rode back down at which point he wrote my number down surely you carnt get a ticket when your moving can you?

A lad I know got a ticket issued by a camera operator for stopping on double reds.

I have heard of it a few times altough i doubt anything will come of it.

JOBWORTHS :smt013 nothing worse than a know it all who does everything exactly by the book with not a hint of remorse or indeed common sense :smt013

Jobsworthythat probably spent their youth being bullied, afraid of the dark & with p!ss stains on their trousers.

No, I don't like Traffic Wardens one bit!! I remember when I lived up in Edinburgh reading about stories where they'd issued a ticket to a Hearse, being loaded up outside a Mortuary, or the old trick of slapping a ticker onto the windscreen of a car, whose driver has just walked over to the Pay & Display machine.

Rant Over! (for now!)

Here, the 'ParkRight' wardens gave a tickage to a WRVS van delivering meals on wheels and clearly labelled as such. It was cancelled on appeal. It made the paper, they made a good story that wardens had 'dished' out a ticket to a meals on wheels van, it wasn't very appetizing, and left the poor WRVS lady with a nasty taste in her mouth. Very funny.

Some of them just enjoy the fact they can order people about.

Sad, sad people with little in their empty lives i guess.
That scene from Lock Stock where they find a warden in the back of the van with them always springs to mind when i hear of this type of jobsworth...but i'm not advocating violence in anyway, OK. Thats just wrong too.
Look what those supposed "bikers" did to that one felss outside a funeral in London recently. Bad news.


If you do get a ticket it will be easy to contest it so dont sweat it too much and PM me if a ticket/Notice to Owner arrives in the post so i can give you some advice that will clear it ;)

They also dished out a load of tickets to people on the last bank holiday, all being appealed against as bank hols are treated as sundays, parking restrictions apply mon to sat, not sundays.
