What are your thoughts? i'm not wholly convinced either way - it WAS immediately rescinded, and it's not like she was tending to the sick

Banking is different.

My friend is a paramedic and she says they rarely get breaks so they have to fill up as quick as they can. In this weather they need liquid stops.

I saw the traffic hold up a few times as I walked by and on one occasion, a window was wound down and it was an old friend of my husband's.

I commented about the angry queues forming behind the appliance, he said 'We tell him every time to pull over somewhere else and he won't, says his wife will clout him if he doesn't pay in'.

Perhaps his wife was the station captain?

Our Asda is always full of firemen, police, ambulance.
Lazy toe-rags should shop in their own time like everyone(normal) else.

// Do wardens get a bonus for issuing a target of so many tickets per day?//

I wondered that HH - having got a ticket for having the day of my blue card covered. - so clearly in order as month and year were showing. Photoes taken by both sides. On appeal - allowed on grounds of 'proportionality'. When I said the whole shebang ( ticket, wait 14d make representations, closed hearing of ticket wallah) was a colossal waste of my time and rates since I was paying all parties' wages
they just said o it is meant to 'work' like that ......

They were not on call. They had stood down to have lunch. It there was an incident they would shorten their lunch and return to work. The young man had every right to booked them. Driving a big yellow ambulance does not mean they should receive special treatment.
