Default Parking in London is a f**king JOKE!!!

...house mate and I were hungry when we got home from work so we decided to go to china town to have a chinese!!!!!!!!

so we managed to get to SOHO and park up!!

the night was going really well until we got back to the bike and found that we had been given a parking ticket!!!!!!!

The fookin bike was with a load of other bikes, parked in the special spot for them BUT as there was 1/2 the bike over the lines to a PERMIT ONLY SPACE they gave us a ticket!!! and as my mate is COMPLETLY SKINT until next month, i will be paying it as we'll get the fine doubled otherwise!!! unbelivable!!!

on the plus side, i did smash of a taxi drivers wing mirror as he got too close to us and started to get mouthy!!! ahhhh, bikes round london = a quick getaway!!! sort off!! lol

130 mph all the way home and i fell asleep on the back and my mate only realised when my head was resting on his shoulder!!!

were doing it again next week and from driving round the soho area, found an excellent parking area!!

SO WHO'S UP FOR IT????????????

had a similar thing with a car before...

mate parked with the front of the bumper overhanging a residents space (he was on a yellow line, but it was out of hours)

there were no other cars down the entire road, not blocking anyone etc this is at about 11pm

went to equinox n stumbled out at 3am to find a fookin clamp on the car that was put there at 2:45am!

i mean, WHY! clamping someone whos not hurting anyone and just happed to be about 2inches over their space due to crp parking... at 3am in the fookin morning with NOBODY else about?!?!?

thing is we needed to get home so he HAD to pay to get the thing removed (after a 1hr wait)

serious if ya get a ticket in westminster ill tell ya how to get out of it matey , not fucking about either i really do know as thats what i used to do was train the africans


oh and jim ya cant get a ticket for over hanging 50% pf the vehicle has to be commiting the offence and they take a pictue of the car with a digital camera to prove it and show if any damage as if they did do it wrong the company get fined big time

oh and all tickets that are canceled the contract company (ncp at the moment) has to pay the full 80 quid
