Bloke my mate works with had a run in with a traffic warden. He had a row with the traffic warden and then drove off. He has now had the police on his doorstep telling him it's an offence to drive off from a traffic warden.

Anybody know owt about this?

agreed

Ginge !

IF its a real and GENUINE traffic warden,,,,,,,,,,, then im afraid it is a offence

if its a parking attendant from africa who thinks hes a police man then driving away from one is a seperate offence,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


as you are ment to run the bastard over !!!

real traffic wardens will do you for obsconding (sp), but usually you just get a fine for the offence and a slap on the wrist

drive off from a parking attendant and you dont even get the ticket

as above I always thought its ok to drive off if they havent put the ticket on screen, but makes sense about not being able to if they are "real" ones... generally though the "real" ones are "alright".... as they arent on commission

Ginge !

alan you forget i used to train the fookers

i wont talk about lunch time when they microwaved ricewith fish and every part of a animal that there was with some sort of meat on it,,,, all on the bone

looked like babys feet and smelt worse than the lockers in the summer,,,, thats a smell i wont EVER forget


and there most comon phrase was "eh, what do you tink you are doooing"


all walking sooo proud to be in uniform


infact i was there when that nobby from so solid pulled a gun on a supervisor,,,,,, was a mate of mine that was leaning against the boot of his peugeot 106 when he was sooo stoned he couldnt get the key in the lock to undo his glove box so went to the boot for his "bucky"


infact we NEVER seen the gun AT ALL but the coppers found it in his birds knickers when they closed off lower regent street and made all the other cars divert to haymarket and let the celeb drive down a 1 way street the wrong way to have him meet the armed responce unit


infact the job was cool at times,,,,,, jsut when they contractors NCP took over and i had to be on street 75% of the week and they offered a vauxhall corsa as a prize for the best production was the day i actually quit

i new it would get worse

Good luck to em though at least they trying to do something... LEGAL

Ginge !

damo did you know that westminster council issues OVER 10 times the tickets that the real traffic wardens used to issue before it was deciminalised

oh and the screen thing is correct for our african friends as they issue about 20% fake tickets during the day,,,,,,,,,,, thats actually as a colective group as 1/3 of the wardens are honest making the actuall ticket issued by dodgy fookers about 50% of there count as the honest ones issue about 12 per day ( or 20 per week when i was doing it , my mate holds the genuine record of 145 per year !!!!!!! in westminster where anything is a offence )

the dodgy fookers issue between 35 and 65 tickets a day

Ginge !

damo thats the point, they actually go on street and hide in the basements of mcdonalds and cafes whilst issuing tickets to cars they made records off when they was walking to the golden arches as they have to make a record in there pocket books every 3 mins !!!

oh and to get over time you have to produce tickets and at a min wage of 7.50 per hour and the potential to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week thats alot of money in that job

on a serious note i AGREE with the parking restrictions as such BUT now the councils are making parking problems and then introducing res parking schemes as a way of extoring money from people,,,,,, the wardens get bountys to help em reach the targets too

Damo V

better than going out robbing grannies and shooting yardies in the hood though ay

Ginge !

i dont mind them shooting yardies tbh, would prob make me no longer feel the need to take me passport for when i return home

and as i dont got a grannie then tbh that dont affect me as much as the parking restrictions

unless it was a old grannie from jamacia with no ID who was being given a parking ticket,,,,,,,,, then i think thet do a good job

Alan s1

I was well pissed off when i heard this as we lost are bonus if we got a ticket and i was only delivering for Habitat so i had a right to park ect 1 gave me a tickit when i was in a parking bay Out side SMITHFEILD MARKET he said i was'nt aload BUT there was a f*%king big sign saying Parking only for LORRYS i had a F*%king Lorry
I even thought about nicking his push bike As he left it up the road abit un locked

Ginge !

alan this might make you feel better ( though i doubt it)

smithfield is in city of london, thats nothing to do with the westminster bonus scheme


he just issued a ticket as you as parked illegally

mmanse

I f***ING HATE TRAFFIC WARDENS

Ginge !

im sure they really like you though

Alan s1

I use to do all over London And i hated doing EC

But why is there so many Of them in 1 area

I loved the story about the Blue Meanie (parking attendant) in Edinburgh who tried to book a car on The Mound, outside the Church Of Scotland Assemble Building (the temporary Parliament) during thei General Assembly.

Big limo parked outside on double yellows and the BM taps on the window and tells the chauffeur he'll need to move.

Chauffeur says sorry, but he's waiting for someone and can't move.

BM says if he doesn't move he'll get a ticket.

Chauffeur says that's unfortunate, but he'll need to go ahead.

BM goes to the front of the car but there's no number plate.

Goes to the back but none there either.

He radios his mates and by the time the Queens representative at the Assembly comes out, there's a whole gang of them there - watching as the chauffeur drives off!!!
