Oh sh!t got a car ticket

[cab]

Got back to the car and a frosty faced warden, by then with a sneer, standing there.
I parked somewhere and didnt realise I had to have a clock time displayed, turns out only come into operation.
�50 down the drain.

[bigmamma]

Oh dear cab , sorry to hear that , �50 is a lot of money to lose . xxx

[logic]

That's what i was saying last night.
we know they have a job to do, but.

Is there any need to gloat when they give you a ticket,

bstaaaards,

[mrs_overall]

Ouch!
Bloomin' jobsworths, those wardens.

[logic]

But he hasn't lost it Bigmamma, he knows exactly where it is.

[karmgirl]

oh dear!

It's only money, money is useful, but still it is only money! xx

[cab]

Bigmamma and logic, thanks, Im not working at present either due to injury.
Why do they gloat so ?

[logic]

i'd love to see traffic wardens and wheel clampers suffer.............a, (well i won't say cos i could well be banned ) for my opinions.

[logic]

It's their saddistic nature cab like when the mot man give you an mot failure with a sneer on his face,

[cab]

Money I cant afford karmgirl.

Cab, I think part of their training is a City & Guilds in looks of scorn, sneering, disdain & contempt.
They also do an advanced diploma in hiding around corners & doing "hit & run" on cars.
They also have to be able to run fast.
Another useful attribute is being fat & ugly, and having the social skills of a dead rat.

[cab]

Logic you are so right, glad I am not like that. x

[logic]

Well mrs O that's as good a description as any LOL.

[mccfluff]

got a call from a rep, her car had been impounded �150.00, however when she rang up it was only �150.00 to get the clamps off, cos they'd took it away it went up top �350.00, we went hairing off into brum (rush hour mind you) to get it back to be told when we got there that it was cash only - who carries that much cash on them?????? and then cos we had no money and had to come back the next day it went up to �390.00! now that was a bad day!

[cab]

Mrs overall I bow to you, and did have a chuckle I have to say, at your description. xxx

[mrs.chappie]

Cab, that happened to me a few years ago. I was new to the area and didn't know anything about the 'clocks' you have to leave on display.

I was only away from the car for a quarter of an hour - came back to it as a warden was writing me a ticket. She told me that it couldn't be cancelled as she had started writing it. She told me to write a letter explaining the situation and requesting it to be cancelled.

I did, but it fell on stoney ears and I had to pay up.

[cab]

mcfluff, now I feel humble. x

[logic]

mcfluff that's when a few mates with baseball bats, or better still hand grenades come in handy, LOL,
but honestly I can understand why they do get attacked,
i'm just surprised it isn't more often.

[jake-the-peg]

Wish they'd introduce wardens to clamp the to$$ers parking in supermarket disabled bays!

[cab]

Mrs chappie that is another requirement they have to be deaf.

[cab]

Or the t0ssers blocking your drive. x
