Simple, really ?


No, I ran a shopfitting business that predominately operated in the West End


I employed 14 people full time & may other contractors


Hand on heart I can say that Traffic wardens "Predated" on us, to such a point it eventually became violent & out of hand


I paid on average about ?600 + per month on tickets for parking "Violations" like tyres over lines or bumpers over bays and of course I fought them all, but the admin killed me


So eventually after a massive police VS parking warden blow up & for the stress alone, I dissolved the company


Sadly, the revenue generated by the borough is more important than the business operating within it



I have no tolerance for them, in fact I dispise the tactics they employ ( & many are illegal )


Bring back the " move on please " GENUINE police force controlled "traffic warden" & the rest can rot in hell



W**F

She won*t have it woof, 'they' never do...I was just about willing to pay the 6 mins in a 5 mins zone whilst picking up my kid from nursery as after all technically that's right but the 3 totally illegal ones I've not paid I've had to face their brinkmanship and ever increasing legal threats and rely on inde[endent witnesses who said they'd back me in court in 2 cases and documented proof in the other.....I don't get any compensation for being threatened with baliffs and the time I have to take to right back...but according to Rosie et al we're all just Jeremy Clarksons. They are bandits and deserve all the crap they get IMO as they reap it on themselves with their banditry

Oooh - The strength of the drink on ryanair these days...


The only time i have ever succeeded in an appeal against these people was in a bus lane outside Kings when dropping lovely wife off in "l"abour and I still had to write 3 letters to avoid the charge. Had to then provide birth certificate of child born later that day before fine was dropped.


In the end think Rosie is just about right - if you mess up you pay. Unless you have a VERY good excuse.

6 parking tickets in 30 years all in the past 6 years, 4 illegal....mmmm. I've no problem with paying a fine if you break the parking law )and both of mine were mine that were legal were just minutes over the limit but that's the law - just has to work both ways. Stop sucking up to Rosie.

I got a parking ticket last year in Camden on a Sunday afternoon, found a space in a set of bays, had a good look around and found there was no 'pay and display' sign or meter to be seen, just one restriciting loading on the yellow line next to the bays mon-fri. The bays across the road had a pay and display sign which I thought a little odd but left it, came back to a parking fine so I took photos of the lack of signs, etc.

Appealed the parking fine and they sent me a photo of the 'pay and display' sign they claimed was there, using streetview I matched the sign in the photo to one further down the road on the opposite side of the road. No matter appeal rejected, so I paid up, wasn't happy about it though.


A week later I was going past the same spot so I deicded to get out to have another look, and there was a brand new 'pay and display' sign on a pole in front of the bays I parked in, with the concrete still wet. Now that's taking the p*ss, rejecting my appeal by saying there was adequate sinage then putting up a new sign after the fact. I later found out that it is common pratice to reject the first appeal automatically as most people will give up then.


Sure if you're in the wrong fair enough, but some of their tactics are pretty low.

Well, I think it's hilarious.


Can the next one be about misunderstandings with South Asian bus conductors? That'll give me a hearty laugh.


If we could have something about Muslims struggling to eat through their burka, that'll make me weep with laughter.


What about some hysterically funny stuff about trying to order from Chinese restaurants?

No, numbnuts, Harry and Paul are Clarkson in disguise. You're, like, way hotter than Clarkson and you wear altogether better jeans ;-)


My point is about the hysterical "they're all out to get us" mentality that the Parking Patewayo sketches espouse. I expected something a bit more intelligent and a little less Daily Mail from Paul Whitehouse is all.


Parking wardens who target you illegally? B@stards. Parking wardens who target you absolutely legally? Suck it up.

Kiwi, the first appeal always gets rejected, that's standard. You have to continue to contest it, and eventually you'll get a hearing scheduled in some sort of mickey-mouse court. If you have hard evidence then you'll win - although I gather that by the time you get to this stage, the council often give up and you win by default.


Unforuntately illegal/unscrupulous/predatory traffic wardens are a reality!

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
