Red face Dispatches on ch4

I cant believe how sly traffic wardens are!!! Standing next to a man asleep in his car waiting to issue him a ticket and the warden that issues tickets after the car drives off!!! Im glad i only park in multi storey car parks!

what really winds me up is when they park on yellow lines to book people. The other day outside my shop the wardens had parked in a disabled bay to book people, when I confronted them they said that there was nowhere else to park!

I got a ticket when in a space with a valid ticket just after New Year. I wrote off with a copy of the ticket and explained that I was in a correct space. Got a letter the other day that said as I had not paid my fine was being raised to £150. How I love the London ticket wardens and the system that they work for.

... and as for Crapita not calling off the bailiffs for the woman who sold the "offending" vehicle two years previously - aaaaaarrrggghhhh!

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

That's alright Paul, if you get a ticket in Asda, follow the advice from last night's programme and just get a mate to write to the ticketing agency saying you were a visiting director and can they bin the ticket. One quick phone call to the council, and bingo - no more ticket!

One rule for some, one rule for another!

Don't care, i have to park my car, lock it, walk to a ticket machine, get a ticket, walk back to the car, unlock it, display ticket, lock car, go to shop.

Well............no thanks, I'll shop elsewhere. Asda have manged to wrestle exactly 0p from me since it opened.

I even went there once and didn't buy anything on purpose so I could argure over the parking charge, bastids gave me a refund on the spot, no arguing, no shouting , no fun

..What did you make of the fact they didnt ticket anything outside the mosque, which possibly had the worst "proper" parking offences shown in the whole programme?

I bet the boys and girls that work for those companies are taking some stick today....
