Well done star13uk, I am always annoyed at the broad brush painted on these people

The term 'Traffic Warden' should quite rightly only be applied to those controlled by the Met, historically whose job it is to facillitate traffic flow, and only issue tickets as a last resort. (Yellow Perils)


The rest are all mercenary buggers adding to the coffers of their paymasters

Hi Tiger ranks,


Good luck with your appeal. I got a ticket on Pellatt Road (which was deserved - I was blocking the step down off the pavement). I paid it and then got a letter through from Southwark Council saying I hadn't paid my other ticket and they would be taking me to court if I didn't pay it etc. etc. I was totally unaware that I had another ticket - I definitely did not, as I picked up my ticket at 11am and they said I had had one issueD at 9am. Totally rubbish - there was only one on my car, not two.


I wrote a letter stating the facts and asked for photo evidence of the tickets (e.g. two, as they suggested were on my windscreen). They dropped it because they couldn't prove it.


I know I was right - but it worries me that this sort of error was made.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
