installing cctv system in sandwich shop today....1st hole through wall scrapes central heating pipe and puts pinhole into it, water spraying out. find stopcock which shuts supply to whole shop which is at busisest time of day...get plumber mate in to repair, see traffic warden who says ok for me to park on double yellows as car is out of way....come out hour later to find ticket on windscreen....cant find p.s.u. that has been delivered straight to site,see package with bnc's underneath lettuce ah ha!! wrong psu aaargh!!! decided to call it a day.....

since when can you trust a traffic warden? They ticket you when stuck in traffic close to the curb! Times have changed matey. Not parking anywhere illegally or not overunning by a mere second on a meter is the only way now.

So what were you saying about working smarter.....?

I think you should have a few beers tonight, chill out and try and forget about today mate.

Well you must have at least got a free sarnie or were they a tight customer?

Don't get me started. I HATE local councils because of the unfair ticketing. It is crippling. It is all about money and nothing else. There is no leeway anymore. I am surprised no one has flipped and started burning down Council offices. We appeal most tickets and mostly win - but the time and aggravation . You get fined less for minor criminal activities than you do if you were delayed getting back to your car by a minute. It is a sick world - and no one does anything about it.
