A bit of light viewing from you tube. Might be a sketch but close to the truth. (Pinched from pepipoo)
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I am sure that the character will catch on, it is funny.

    I posted about him yesterday but the forum's moved on since then without any replies. There have been 2 shows so far with him featured:

    I had the misfortune of encountering one of these guys yesterday outside a hospital, even though a blue badge was displayed but still found this funny. Shared on my FB wall. lol

    Glad to say having spoke to parking control this morning they're cancelling my ticket. Yaay

    If it was a private company then it was a scam, a bogus ticket anyway, you could have ignored it.

    Parking Pataweyo is meant to be a real COuncil CEO although if you notice he slaps 'Parking Charges' on people's cars, not real 'Penalty Charges'. Shows how easy books of these are to get on the internet if Harry Enfield can use them for a sketch!
