First time I've seen it. It's not overly funny, but then I don't think that's really the point of the sketch.


I mean what are you saying Mick? That over-zealous parking enforcement officers should only be played by white people? Why?



I think this is the point of the sketch, beyond the comedy parking attendant nonsense. 'That over-zealous parking enforcement officers don't have to be white - and so what?'


I think it's a step forward, not a step back.

I think it's disgraceful because in place of humour (Paul Whitehouse used to be funny, even if Harry Enfield didn't), they've given in to rather pathetic middle-aged curmudgeonry: the traffic wardens are all out to get us and steal our hard-earned cash.


To be fair, the one you've posted there Mick, actually makes me quite admire Parking Patewayo and his chariots o'skills, but I've seen a couple of others that are so anti-parking warden it made me want to write a very stiff letter of rebuke to Harry and Paul.

I think it's offensive because not only is it not funny, but it's Harry and Paul written by Clarkson: traffic wardens disguised as bushes to catch the unaware..?


STOP PARKING WHERE YOU SHOULDN'T AND YOU WON'T GET A TICKET YOU UNFUNNY TEDIOUS FUCKS.


It's so offensive it makes me offensive.

Jah - please try to see that I am at least making an attempt at humour - every time I see your name now I expect to get a bollocking of some sort. If it looks odd at first sight it probably means something different from the obvious.


I don't know if she is 81 or not, but I think its very unlikely.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
