Well. Until it's actually illegal to drive a car - which we know plenty of 'eco warriors' who happily jet off on holiday at the drop of a hat woould love - it's reasonable to expect Local Authorities to administer tickets when parking rules are broken rathet than illegally, with an an intimidating process to challenge (very), and no apology when their attempt at rackateering is overturned or dropped. Overturned them twice myself whilst parking perfectly legally. Both times by ultimately saying I'd happily go to court with witnesses and proof in face of increasingllt threatening letters and escalating penalties. They are w*nkers.


Flamed ernough?

Sometimes the best thing to do for your own sanity is to accept that you broke the traffic regulations, pay up, resolve not to do it again, and get on with life.


I once spent a whole lot of time worrying, scheming and trying to figure out how to beat a parking ticket (loading bay, Whateley Rd, little sh*t from Sothwark parking on a scooter) and it made me more unhappy than parting with the cash did. Next parking ticket (parking in residents-only near Brixton Ritzy a mere 5 mins before the end of the regulated time), I confessed to myself I'd broken the regs and mentally moved on; that was much less stressful and made me less unhappy.

The point, Gimme, is that sometimes people are getting fingered through no fault of their own.


A parking ticket may be a minor inconvenience. And if it's a fair cop, then fair enough.

But if it is isn't, then there's no shame (and it may even be essential for one's sanity and self-respect) in saying 'not fair', even if there is no redress in sight.

I received a Penalty Charge Notice through the post today :-(


Did the banking at HSBC early and used the parking bay outside Barclays. Only by checking street view on Google maps can I now see the error of my ways.


Note to self - read all parking signs before using any designated parking bay; the conditions may differ from those across the road, or immediately around the corner.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
