I'm perfectly calm thanks, and I was referring to the veiled criticism of the police in the opening post. Also, if you were intending to jest, there are plenty of 'emotions' available to signify that, which is the usual way on sites like this.

You know Fizzy, you don't have to read what people write or the opinions they express. Also, Louisa isn't someone who's generally known the to hold back when she has an opinion to express, and some of what she writes can be controversial. I'm not doubting that the incident happened, or that she helpfully intervened to help the other person, only her reference to a 'bobby' with the suggested implication that he/she could have helped he/she had not been ticketing a parked car. I just sounded a bit 'tabloid' for me, and I'm entitled to my opinion and also to state it.

Sorry, from now on if I want to say anything light hearted, I'll follow it with a :)) Just so as not to upset your sensitivities.

And I'm sorry too Frisco, my mistake for thinking that reading what people write was a vital point of the forum! I don't contribute often but I do read a lot of what goes on here and just sometimes I get the feeling that things start to get a bit too serious/petty. No offence intended, it's just my opinion....but hey you don't have to read it!! :))

I expect it was a traffic warden issuing the ticket, I believe police don't issue tickets unless a vehicle's parked on a red route or causing an obstruction.

And nice one for getting involved Louisa, in incidents like that people tend to think "well if they're not helping then I won't" which is odd.

"I expect it was a traffic warden issuing the ticket, I believe police don't issue tickets unless a vehicle's parked on a red route or causing an obstruction."

Exactly.

That's the spirit, not everyone is a mainstay of the site or such a prolific poster here as you, and if you don't observe the accepted netiquette how will the, sadly, infrequent posters like Fizzy know you're not being "a bit too serious/petty". >:D<

You sure you're not a police officer? :))

If it were a police officer then he should have seen what was going on. It is - or was - part of their training to have 360 degree vision. In other words, to be aware of the full picture - and it's not as if Goose Green is very big. But biting dogs, elderly ladies and a crowd are Trouble with a capital T; and a traffic ticket is cash for the council (good boy) and targets met (very good boy).
