i hate...

[antz]

traffic wardens or 'parking attendants' as they are known

 

wouldnt midn it if they were nice but you gotta be a heartless bastard to be one and flipping heck do they show it

[caprinerd]

its part of the job a mate years back didnt get in as he was to cheerful and soft hearted

[pauline]

I hate them loads hate going in to windsor have to be carefull were I park and close eye on the time.

 

got two tickets this year

[antz]

luckily ive never received a ticket yet but ive had a few run ins with the traffic wardens!!!

 

usually the same arsehole traffic warden too...have met ihm a few times

[pauline]

not meet any of them yet when i ve got the tickets it is allways in the victor I get them.

 

met one once just got back to the car in time and he let me off spent half a hour talking to him about the car was telling me his dad had one.

[antz]

Try delivering in London as i have to do sometimes, i got a ticket while pulled over sitting in cab with the engine running looking at my map . The traffic warden just walked down the side of the van put ticket under the wiper and walked off It doesnt help when there paid on a bonus scheme ie the more tickets they hand out the more they get paid

[antz]

theres a chip shop in scarborough that has a sign in the wondow saying NHS, POLICE, AMBULANCE 10% OFF....TRAFFIC WARDENS 10% ON!!!

 

because he parks his car outside his shop to unload his deliverys and every time he does it, they give him a ticket knowing full well its his car!!!

 

he cant even park ound the back of his shop as its a pay and display carpark and they then ticket him for not paying and displaying!

Good thing about Enfield is there's no bonus sceme, so they get paid a flat rate and it notices, met more than a few real nice TW, they warn you if your parked in the wronge place, even had one help get me Mum out the wheelchair and into the car last week

Do get the odd problem like them giving out tickets for parking in front of me own garage over a drop curb the council put in for wheelschair access for me dads chair to our own car but thats a council problem not really a TW one.

At the end of the day DONT PARK ILLEAGALY and you wont get a ticket, how hard is it

It's like moaning when you get caught speeding, if you took all the moans about TW, then took away all the tickets that were deserved they'd be hardly anything to actually moan about

my mates dave does lidl car park in mallow a town 15mins down the road from me.,,, he works for a security crowd and there is 2hr parking and he will usuall leave you off as he is quite lazy but after say 3hrs you'll get aclamp...

 

one day the local traffic warden of the town left his car in the car park for many hours and dave clamped him... mr tw was not impressed and threatened to hit him(dave bein 6ft 6 and i wouldnt touch him at all)

 

after mr tw paid the fine and the clamp was removed there was a round of aplause and cheers as people clearly did not like mr tw....

I have witnessed our local traffic wardens ticketing an ambulance before now. I hear they also ticketed a bin wagon as it was waiting for a gap in traffic to move off down a road and also a council van being used by other traffic wardens

[accord83]

They ticketed all the old boys cars on the town car park whilst the old boys were remembering their dead comrades at the War Memorial this Sunday. Never get a traffic warden here on a Sunday, and as the council have previously given a dispensation for Rememberance Sunday, the British Legion forgot to apply for permission to park to remember their dead. The wardens scarpered as the Old Boys returned, couldn't face a band of octogenarian servicemen and doris. Pure Money grabbing B@st@rds. Don't get me started.......

i once had to park the lorry in a side road in central london for a fashion show

 

took 10 mins before the 1st warden turned up.......got a ticket.....then needed to move it forward about 10 mins later....less than 10 steps......got another ticket........every van their who was working on the show had permits to park their from london council...............every van recvied parking tickets.......not just once but 3 times......now thats saying something about traffic wardens........and if i recall correctly the fines were £80 each
