Was working on the tippers a few yrs ago, and was clearing a site near st pauls in central london ( the city )
so there was only room for one truck on site, once loaded the driver had to sort out the bits of wood on top of the load, prior to taking it to the tip…so there was i waiting on a four lane road to get onto the site, when along comes this orrible little man
Cant park ere drive
But im already ere Well you cant stay But im waiting to get on site
If you dont move im giving you a ticket Just then my mate, starts to pull off site, so i starts up, ready to reverse onto site Now the orrible little man, decides he wants to ticket me, so when im on site, he sticks the ticket onto the windscreen.
Oi, what ya F.ing doin
he ignores me
So i says it again
he walks away, so i grab him, listem you orrible black c
i`m on private property, and you cant ticket me on site, so he just carries on walking, eventually the boss appeals against it, and wins the case, but its so annoying, when they dont use comon sense.
I was loading out of a hotel in central Milan a few years back for an exhibition company (I say a few years it was about1995 
)
Came back to find a parking ticket stuffed into the passenger door handle (must have been a shortarse warden that couldnt reach the wipers 
)
I didnt pay it then and still havent paid it, do you think they’ll pursue it ?
It was for about 12000 lire IIRC (about £6 at the time)

I think the reason behind the traffic warden’s attitude is obvious, at some point in the past he had made the mistake of shopping at Argos.
Don’t dis the laminated book of dreams man!

No I agree, I bought a bright green singing Chameleon from there last year when I was over and I was not ripped off at all, its pure class

The traffic wardens i have came across in Edinburgh are a bunch of tossers, went there with a container to off load a removal, got there at half 8 for a 9am booking so couldnt get near the house so parked up the street a bit waiting on the removal guys to arrive. About 10 mins later a warden walks up and asks what im doing so i reply im waiting to offload a removal, just waiting on guys turning up and a space becoming available, says i have to move and just drive around until i c a space (talk about exhaust emissions), his general attitude stunk and i had a bit of a go back. I moved and eventually get into a space outside the house. A while later another one walks by and starts writing a ticket so i jump out and he had a right attitude on him as well (foreign, think he was polish) so argued wi him for a while. He eventually went away then another guy (polish again) turns up and says he is booking me and muttered in polish under his breath and told me to eff off when i told him we r trying to do a job here and is he too thick to understand this.What made it worse was he said to me “you shouldnt b parked here”, i was very tempted to say “yeah well u shouldnt b here either”
It must ask on the application form for the job if they are complete tossers and if they tick yes automatically offered employment.
No wonder we cant get jobs in this country, they are all being taken by these immigrants.
obviously dont know how to deal with them then, i used to do multidrop in central edinburgh, wardens were always about and 99% of them are fine if your polite to them and explain. only ever had 2 problems once was a delivery on george street, had a ton pallet or cement to handball into this shop renevation, the loading bay was half way down the street and the amount of times i had parked her to do this delivery (was almost a daily thing for me and was roughly done about 0730) anyway traffic warden comes along starts being arsy about the loading bay being down the road etc. i explain what ive got on and how much is to be handballed that itll take 5 mins here or 20 mins down the road, argument between me and him starts. lucky for me i still have the plasterers unloading the pallet and just when he starts writing my ticket i get a nice lil tap to say they are finished and as its the side door of an iveco daily it didnt take long to scarper
i also got a ticket cause my rear tyre was touching a single yellow line. i appealed it and got a reply saying that if a truck was trying to get out of their i would be causing a problem. swiftly got a replying saying if a truck struggled to get out of their because of me then they shouldnt be driving…also noted to them i was an artic driver. It soon got thrown out and i won 
. its great fun appealing parking tickets Edinburgh city council hate me because ive won every ticket ive appealed from them
i used to do 9 drops round london every wednesday, loved the arguments i had with westminster wardens.
one i remember well, was in the shop getting paperwork signed, truck was parked on shaftsbury avenue.
young lad sticks his head in the door “oi mate if thats your truck your getting a ticket”
gos out side to see a fat warden trying to reach up to put the ticket on the windscreen
“what you doing?” i asked, “your unloading past the allocated time”, she replies
“not at 11.30 in the morning im not, im safe here till 13.00”, she replies “no its 11 and your late by 30 minutes”
i asked her to take a walk with me down to the lamp post, after she waddled down i showed here a sign saying no loading after 13.00.
i then points out that i know the sign was there after one of her colleauges done me last week for being here after 13.00.
very gruffly she replies “go get me the ticket!”
my reply “ha ha ■■■■ off and get it yourself and learn your bloody job too!”
on another occasion i was done by the same warden twice at two different shops within 200 metres of each other, one was at 10.10 am and the other was at 10.20 am. the reason for the second ticket…being over the 20 minutes alloted time to unload!!!..wtf

I don’t even want to think about why you have laminated your Argos catalogue. Wipe clean pages? 
this crap about polish coming over and nicking our jobs ect is old and complete bollox!! you shouldnt be having ago at them but at the british folk who prefer to sit on their arses and watch jeremy kyle all day well to the pubs open anyway, if there was near to zero unemployment in this country then the polish would,nt be here?
