    From the way you describe it it sounds like the warden took your photo to help support your claim that you were there when the ticket was issued and had not made a story up to make it seem like you had only been parked illegally briefly. But maybe its just how you describe the even ahead of the second thoughts on having your photo taken?

    That is exactly what he said PDC.

    And photography - you could just as easily have taken one of him. Grace periods are not enshrined in any law, but if you were on a SYL you had a valid reason if allowed by the street signs what did they say?

    Or was it a DYL? If so, it is a slam dunk.
    It was a plain old single yellow with no unloading restrictions.

    None of the things that seem to be bothering you about getting this ticket are going to get this quashed.

    It's a combination of the one minute and loading a pre-arranged collection, that will do the trick.

    Best get proper help to word the appeal, and miss out all the other stuff about a dog with fleas, Pension Credit, and Polish folks.
    I won't mention any of those things, thanks for your help Iceweasel.

    Just curious what is about Polish people that made your experience so much more distressing?
    If you're hoping to raise the race card against me lady, you've landed in the wrong thread.

    I am very proud of my adopted town and the Polish heritage here. There are many Polish men to whom we owe a debt of gratitude having helped defend our Country and stayed after the War.

    I am also honoured to live in the Town that houses the Polish War Cemetery, that is, the heroes who fought along side us.

    If you want to raise a race card lazydaisy, go do it somewhere else. Fool.

    What race card? I couldn't see the point of you reference to Polish people either. And if you care to look at zzzLazyDaisy's signature, you would see that they are probably the least likely to post any racist comment.

    Given a straight choice, I would rather have zzzLazyDaisy's very informed and helpful professional comments on this forum (just check out some previous posts)than someone who goes completely OTT at a reasonable question.

    I hope the regulars boycott your thread.

    Someone who has been around for a good few years and has seen someone going OTT for no good reason and having a go at a really helpful, straight contributor on here.

    There are some contributors that I may have agreed with you about, but, in my opinion, you have read the wrong thing into the comment and may wish to reflect and possibly withdraw your unwarranted attack that was not called for.

    Aarh! right. Lazy daisy and Guy's dad are having an affair. I get it now. Not for the first time have affairs been conducted here, but that's why he's springing to her defence. Sweet!

    ...my gripe being that I was photographed, plus all this conducted in front of a group of Polish people.

    No matter how you look at it, polish people seem to be out of place there.
