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:

Presumably this was the cash delivery to pay Britcliffes personnal expenses for the week?
 
Does anybody have any idea what sort of qualifications are required to be a traffic warden?? If any??

I don't know about Accy, but in London you have to be a registered asylum seeker.
 
qualifications required to be a traffic warden (1) you must be totally stupid(anyone with an iq go away) (2) you must not be aware of societys needs.(3) you must be totally uncaring and oblivious to normal life.thats all you need apply now lol
 
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.

Or where giving out parking tickets is easy? If Accrington is like our towns here, finding legal parking is pretty easy once you get away from the town center (forgive my Yank spelling, please). Like the man said, if you want to go elephant hunting, you'd better go where the elephants are.
 
on blackburn rd from the george onwards daily there are cars illegally parked causing obstuction,you never see the wardens on there- the police said it was a problem months ago,and they had a purge which lasted about a week that was it.but really the police have more important things to deal with its the job of these PLEBS.
 
Over here they used to have yellow lines on their hats to stop you parking on them :D.
Now they are green lines. I can't find green lines in the highway code so I think they must be fair game.
