Ok - i just wanted to rant about the fact ive just been given a parking ticket

Im parked right outside the office on the street - ok there is a 2 hour limit, which i did exceed - yes im guilty but whats the harm in where im parked?

Im not blocking anyone, not taking up a space outside a busy corner shop - so whats the problem?

I cannot see how this can be perceived than anything other than revenue generating

Who would want to be a traffic warden anyway? What job satisfaction would you get - cold & wet walking in the winter, hot sticky days in the summer Oh and then theres the abuse from disgruntled motorists, no i did refrain from having a go.

Thoughts?

Kerri had to pay for a ticket of mine the other day! I tend to forget where the car is! Left it in the carpark overnight across the road, ah well! Such is life!


You're just asking for this...

Get your **** into work earlier like me and you can park in one the parking slots

So in one week, you've been done for speeding, parking ticket... you know what they say, comes in 3's...

I hate them when I had my moped when I used to work for MLS I got a ticket in my local town for parking in the street.

Now bearing in mind bikes in stratford upon avon can park anywhere for free.

So anyway I go a ticket and I went and argued it becuase I am on a moped where do they really think I could have put a bit of paper?

The Guy who also put the ticket on my bike took off the paint from the adesive glue!

I HATE THEM

Presume you have to hover out

It's so others can get a chance to park there. ie if all the same cars parked there at 9am and left at 5pm it would only serve X amount of cars who would monopolise those spots.

You probably know how it feels when you drive up and down similar roads with parking slots all full then you spot an empty one and bag it. You're then very grateful you found a spot and often those type are free as well. Well they are in Donny mostly.

I just wanted to add that you don't really need to add derogatory posts about members, or, more specifically other forum mods and staff. The thread itself is about 3 years old.

Play nicely please
