Well done star13uk, I am always annoyed at the broad brush painted on these people

The term 'Traffic Warden' should quite rightly only be applied to those controlled by the Met, historically whose job it is to facillitate traffic flow, and only issue tickets as a last resort. (Yellow Perils)


The rest are all mercenary buggers adding to the coffers of their paymasters

Hi Tiger ranks,


Good luck with your appeal. I got a ticket on Pellatt Road (which was deserved - I was blocking the step down off the pavement). I paid it and then got a letter through from Southwark Council saying I hadn't paid my other ticket and they would be taking me to court if I didn't pay it etc. etc. I was totally unaware that I had another ticket - I definitely did not, as I picked up my ticket at 11am and they said I had had one issueD at 9am. Totally rubbish - there was only one on my car, not two.


I wrote a letter stating the facts and asked for photo evidence of the tickets (e.g. two, as they suggested were on my windscreen). They dropped it because they couldn't prove it.


I know I was right - but it worries me that this sort of error was made.

    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
    • We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".
