More Euro Car parking Shenanigans

In the Daily Heil today, ECP warden books a one legged driver who forgot their blue badge but showed them their false leg

Unsurprisingly the "appeal" was dismissed and the victim told to pay up.

Mobilise are you listening, to a sorry tale of woe about an "expensive mistake"

ECP cash greedy vultures imho.

    One particular idiotic comment on there, but typical of the Daily Fail, blaming all this on "New Labour".
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
  • I thought the Daily Mail might be a bit more alive to fake private parking tickets.

    The story may have come via an agency.

    Either way, it goes to show there are still plenty of people who take the scam tickets seriously.
  • Some of us have commented on the Cardiff newspaper article in the hope she may see it and not pay the bu****s.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Excellent humour...the Mail 'alive' to any topic that isn't 'swarms of Jonny Foreigner killing our kids' isn't a possibility. 'Alive' implies journalism...see, that's funny.

    Agency stories...yeah 95% of all newspaper content is merely newswire stories or PR puffs.

    Mail...journalism...I'm laughing again.

    Still at least it's not the !!!!!!-front that is that other paper of note.
