So would cloned plates

I don't live within the parking zone so can't apply. I'm on a main street that has no parking at all, so the zone ends 50 yards from my house.

I and two of my colleges got 5 extra's ... the equivalent to 120 hours each of community service a few years ago for parking outside of where we worked... we were just picking our kit up after an exercise...

So whilst on our punishment I rang the pain store (QM Tec's) and got some line paint and painted 5 parking bays outside our hanger.
:0)

I then also painted the word "NO" next to the word PARKING where the ***** who gave us the extras worked :0)

Later on that morning his boss apologized on his behalf and gave him a few bottles of Port fine in the mess and told us not to bother with the rest of the punishment :0)

or buy an Ex diplomatic car and put the old plates back on :0)
now that sounds like a plan.

If you don't like it, you can always bugger off to where you were originally. No-one forced you to move there, no-one forced you to park where it's not allowed.

As it is, you knew about the lack of parking when you moved to the house you're in, so you have to take the chance of getting ticketted if you break the parking laws. It's not extortion, it's life in London and if you want to live there yo have to play by the rules or pay the fines. Whatever you do, can you please cut the whinging, it gets tiresome after a while.

I hear the Scottish traffic wardens in Inverness are very easy going.

It only takes a set of pliers to remove the parking signs ...

Give me a break Lozzo. **** off back to Malta if you don't like the way the British moan (it's really a tiresome attempt at an insult btw )

Anyway, I love it down here. London has its downsides but you'd be a fool to live here and not appreciate what it is. My issue is that:

1. I live in Kent yet can't park anywhere for free. I don't live in a city that needs CPZs. I live in an area in which I need a car.
2. To challenge a ticket means sacrificing the 50% 'discount'. That's extortion in anyones book.
