Don't Park there.
 
I came across,an interesting little pantomime the other day,passing the Halifax Building Society.One of our intrepid traffic wardens was berating an errant motorist for parking in an exclusion zone.Bravo we may think,but the errant motorist was in fact a Securicor guard attempting to deliver cash to the premises.
He tried to explain that he had thousands in cash,only to be told to park elsewhere.
What a crazy world this is.:rolleyes:

What a complete and utter idiot. The Securicor vans have always parked as close to the banks as possible for security reasons. You carry thousands of pounds in plastic bags as short as distance as possible.

It's as bad as the one in the paper where a mobile blood donor truck/van/lorry/thing got booked. :rolleyes:

Heard of a similar thing in Colne, the councils must all employ the same sort of idiots (brain cells missing) as Traffic Wardens :eek:

I don't know about Accy, but in London you have to be a registered asylum seeker.

Hmmmm, requirements include:

assertiveness and common sense,
the ability to think clearly and react sensibly under pressure,
patience, tact and a sense of humour.

What went wrong?

I know there has to be some exceptions but it is not brain surgery.
If you don't want a parking ticket then don't park where you should not.
Simple, like Traffic Wardens :D

So why don't they book all the people on the zigzags outside schools and leave the Securicor men alone? :rolleyes:

Like I said. Simple, like Traffic Wardens. They don't appear to venture far from the town centre. Maybe they like to stay where it is more crowded for safety reasons.

Actually, I have a theory that it is brain surgery. In order to become a trafic warden, one must submit to an operation that removes part of your brain and most of your personality.

BTW, in New York City, they are often called "brownies," due to the fact that their brown uniforms are different from those worn by the real police.
