I like it when I park on a road I am allowed to, a residential road, but they walk up and down as if I AM IN THE WRONG when its clearly a free road to park in. Its like they are waiting to pounce on you as soon as you leave the car.
I remember being outside a bank and I was literally 5 mins and my mate was in the car saying I would be back any sec, they still decided to write out the ticket.
I got 2 last year just for parking in a residential road, no yellows or nothing, how do they work that out???

got a ticket in my own road in between xmas & new year, for parking next to a lowered kerb, the thing is that these kerbs arent for driveways or anything, it's a street of terraced houses, we don't have permits or yellow lines of any description, you just park where you can it's ludicrous, obviously some cnut is so far behind his target that he has to resort to prowling residential roads in the hope of getting someone on a tenuous technicallity!!! I've contested it, and backed it up with photos but it probably wont get me anywhere!!!

they were the kind of kids who used to snitch on people at school in return for a pat on the head from sir!!!

I sympathise with you, I parked in an disused bus stop bay in nottingham for 30seconds to unload about a ton's worth of equipment. Before I drove a mile away to a car park. Basta gave me a ticket. I contested it on the grounds it wasn't a bus stop (which it isn't), they told me where to go. Now, I always find the time to tell them where to go.
Scum
Good luck in your dispute

one of my finest moments came when I lived in Nottingham and I was sat outside a city centre bar (Cafe Metz or Fashion as it's now known) one sunny sat afternoon (no sleep friday nite, beak/booze you know the score
) and 2 of em walked by and I launched a handful of faux gravel at them from a big plant pot along with a lot of expletives!! I didnt feel so hard when the same two came back 10 mins later with the plod in tow one of my finest moments came when I lived in Nottingham and I was sat outside a city centre bar (Cafe Metz or Fashion as it's now known) one sunny sat afternoon (no sleep friday nite, beak/booze you know the score
Love things like this, so childish yet so satisfying - at the time
Thats what I was talking about, there is no sign or anything to say you cant park there yet they go up and down the road "waiting" to slap one on you. Makes no sense, they cant actually do it I dont think so why do they still walk up and down menacingly????
you should ask them if theyve ever been with a woman!!
I might tomorrow when I see them!
Knowing my luck they will definitely give me one if I am cheeky
Everybody needs a gig - especially those at the bottom of the ladder.
NEVER slam the phone down on telemarketers and don't be nasty to traffic wardens.
Blame the managers and directors. They're the ones who pimp these innocent people out on the streets doing such nasty things.
They have targets to meet and working for a local authority, I expect they get very little support.
The problem is with the system, not the mother with however many kids to feed etc that needs to make a living.
I've had my rant. Off to knit a scarf.

A Welsh man who was banned from paying a 650-pound (965-euro, 1,263-dollar) court debt in bronze one pence pieces said he will pay up, but using silver five pence pieces instead.Michael Rees tried to pay the fine and costs for a careless driving conviction -- which he disputes -- with 40-pound-a-month instalments of 4,000 pennies, which is Britain's smallest denomination.
The 41-year-old said he had paid 540 pounds of the debt with wheelbarrow-loads of pennies until the
fines office at Pontypridd Magistrates Court in south Wales refused to accept any more.They cited the 1971 Coinage Act, which says bronze payments of more than 20 pence do not have to be accepted as legal tender.
Unemployed Rees agreed at a court hearing Wednesday to finish paying his debt at five-pounds-a-week in silver five pence pieces.
"It's still going to be causing them a problem," he was quoted as saying by Britain's Press Association news agency.
"It causes them a major problem because I de-bag it all and chuck it in their chute... I feel it's every person's right to pay in any denomination which they see as fit to pay."
