  • Hang on i'm just off to grab a jumbo bag of popcorn, this is getting interesting.

    Haven't seen anyone shoot themselves in the foot quite so quickly and repeatedly in ages.

    Poor little kid.

    My son is 4 years old you no clue mate. The road in question is just a money grabbing scheme for the local council.
    There are thousands of four year old children at schools from families who don't own cars. How do you think they get there?

    Thought occurs I advised the OP in post #6 to try the parking forum on here for some more specific advice.

    Just realised that means they parked their post in the wrong place. Probably didn't fancy those extra clicks...
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Good luck with that.

    You haven't got a chance.

    This is the one type of parking offence where the public are firmly on the side of the wardens enforcing the law on safety grounds.

    Kindly direct any criticism elsewhere unless you can back up your comment.

    You will note that I have refrained from getting embroiled in any personal insults or argument so why have a go at me?

    Leave 5 mins earlier tomorrow to get a premuim spot.

    I have seen those parents who get the premium spots they are there at least an hour before school finishes, must be great having nothing better to do.

    OP you could walk, a 4 year olds legs work quite well even when its cold

    If you scan the ticket and go to http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=30

    You may get some real help, they tend to ban the (text removed by MSE Forum Team) that think they are on a morals site.
    You are allowed to collect passengers on a single yellow, so you may have a good appeal.
    Be happy...;)

    And there's me thinking I was the only one who considered this to be a consumer help site. Thanks Spacey!
