seanmlow Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 They have been making a killing recently, and for once, touch wood, I have not been fined!One thing they have been doing which is not really on - the lorrys who load outside Barclays. Everyday, one of them stops there, and everyday the warden shoots down on his scooter to catch them.Is there anywhere else they can load?

annaj Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Having a field day? Or, just doing their job. Depends how you look at it really.

SeanMacGabhann Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 be pro- or anti- traffic wardens if you like, but if the first post used humour I missed it"Two traffic wardens walk into a bar...."

bon3yard Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dont make a fuss just get on the bus. I cant wait until they pedestrianise the whole of London and create a special lane just for me and my Sedan Chair. Bring on the future!

lpool Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The best time to see a traffic warden down Lordship Lane is around 4pm (or is it 4.30pm?) weekdays when the 30 minute parking allowance stops. My wife tells me they turn up on mass with split second timing, knowing that there will be plenty of cars caught out by the restriction.

annaj Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 *Heavy sigh*Isn't that what the Nazis used to say?Yes, kford, that's right. Placing parking tickets on illegally parked vehicles is exactly the same as commiting horrifc acts of genocide. Not. Oh god here we go againDon't want the same responses? Don't start the same discussion. Oh and if there was humour in the first post, I certainly didn't see it.

louisiana Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I wish there had been a warden around a couple of weeks back, when a stupid sports car double parked outside Somerfield for ages. Stopped all the traffic on the lane. The guy seemed to be waiting for someone doing the shopping. Traffic backed up to the police station and beyond. I did go up to the car and made a comment to the driver, but I think his expensive glass prevented him from interacting with the real world.

snorky Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 How can people call traffic wardens nazis & get away with it ? whereas I once described *a certian group of East Dulwich Businesses* as such ( with its basis this particular groups support for Hitler during the early '30s in germany ) and I got bollocked ?TskIts political correctness gone mad...one rule for them etc...

Moos Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 A bit harsh on seanmlow? - I read his first post as having a flippant tone.As for traffic wardens just doing their job, I'm sure many of them are responsible and honest people whose mothers love them, but there has been plenty of media coverage (and recent comment on the forum) about tickets being issued unfairly and even illegally in London.

annaj Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I was a bit grumpy this morning maybe, but not that harsh I don't think. All I said in response to Seanmlow's inital post was that whether you see traffic wardens as "having a field day" or just getting on and doing what they're paid to do (ie their job) depends on your point of view. Hardly a snorky-esque rant.

Moos Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 wasn't having a go at you Anna, onist, or any one person. Just thought the balance of the thread was being a bit grouchy towards seanmlow and was trying to redress. Peace to all an that. except Snorky's employer, obviously. Not a large Swiss bank, by any chance? :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3159-traffic-wardens-on-lordship-lane-having-a-field-day-lounged/#findComment-98516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
