Traffic wardens on Lordship Lane having a field day (Lounged)


Recommended Posts

They have been making a killing recently, and for once, touch wood, I have not been fined!


One thing they have been doing which is not really on - the lorrys who load outside Barclays. Everyday, one of them stops there, and everyday the warden shoots down on his scooter to catch them.


Is there anywhere else they can load?

The best time to see a traffic warden down Lordship Lane is around 4pm (or is it 4.30pm?) weekdays when the 30 minute parking allowance stops. My wife tells me they turn up on mass with split second timing, knowing that there will be plenty of cars caught out by the restriction.

*Heavy sigh*


Isn't that what the Nazis used to say?



Yes, kford, that's right.

Placing parking tickets on illegally parked vehicles is exactly the same as commiting horrifc acts of genocide. Not.




Oh god here we go again

Don't want the same responses? Don't start the same discussion.


Oh and if there was humour in the first post, I certainly didn't see it.

I wish there had been a warden around a couple of weeks back, when a stupid sports car double parked outside Somerfield for ages. Stopped all the traffic on the lane. The guy seemed to be waiting for someone doing the shopping. Traffic backed up to the police station and beyond. I did go up to the car and made a comment to the driver, but I think his expensive glass prevented him from interacting with the real world.

How can people call traffic wardens nazis & get away with it ? whereas I once described *a certian group of East Dulwich Businesses* as such ( with its basis this particular groups support for Hitler during the early '30s in germany ) and I got bollocked ?


Tsk


Its political correctness gone mad...one rule for them etc...

A bit harsh on seanmlow? - I read his first post as having a flippant tone.


As for traffic wardens just doing their job, I'm sure many of them are responsible and honest people whose mothers love them, but there has been plenty of media coverage (and recent comment on the forum) about tickets being issued unfairly and even illegally in London.

I was a bit grumpy this morning maybe, but not that harsh I don't think.

All I said in response to Seanmlow's inital post was that whether you see traffic wardens as "having a field day" or just getting on and doing what they're paid to do (ie their job) depends on your point of view.


Hardly a snorky-esque rant.

wasn't having a go at you Anna, onist, or any one person. Just thought the balance of the thread was being a bit grouchy towards seanmlow and was trying to redress.


Peace to all an that.


except Snorky's employer, obviously. Not a large Swiss bank, by any chance? :)

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
