Sneaky B*stards

[Stuart Truman]

I'm sat outside a cafe having my usual Saturday morning coffee and people watching hour while son and heir does sporty stuff.

There's a guy walking about with a clipboard and walkie talkie who appears to be the advanced party for the traffic warden. Car parked on double yellows so at fault but really? Small Cotswold town, hardly a capital offence. Some citizen parking vigilante maybe...

Edit - on the bright side, the mobile scenery is spectacular now the sun has put in an appearance and the roof was off this morning

sounds like someone with too much time on their hands.

granted you've strictly speaking, parked where you shouldn't have, but why someone other than a traffic warden is getting on edge for I've no idea.

I was parked legally in a car park. Just fascinated by mr busybody and his clipboard. I was hoping someone was going to come out and poke him, just for the comedy value.

He's probably the 'suprimo' of his local Neighbourhood Watch as well! Some people just have to feel important 8)

In a sleepyish village near to me, they put double yellow lines all over the place about 8 years ago. The council employed a yellow peril & by all accounts he ended up spending more time in the hospital than doing his rounds.
Now we're left with the double yellows & the only people who occasionally give out tickets once in a blue moon are the rozzers...

Appreciate he was only doing his job, but for years the place had survived quite nicely & still does with people parking on the double yellows for '5 min'

You're on the line, so prepare for a fine :lol:

Annoying isn't it 8)
