I parked up in the council run carpark today to visit the Post Office & on my return to my car there was a Parking Warden looking at all the cars including mine. I said to him "you won't see a ticket on mine matey". "Yeh i see you have a permit" he says.
I got chatting to him & found out some good points

1. If your car fails to start or is pushed into a parking bay on the side of the road broken down with a time limit impossed on that bay (say half an hour), then it's down to the Parking Warden's discretion & they don't have to issue a ticket, but on repair of your vehicle you have to take your car to a garage & get a slip stamped to say the work has been carried out which can either by yourself or the garage.

2. When they log your details into their machine, it tells them all the details, MOT, tax, insurance, male or female owner & address.

We had quite a chat about a women that had parked in a disabled parking bay, he waited for a few mins for her return to which she didn't so he had a walk around the carpark to check the cars which took him around half an hour & the car was still there & so he issued a ticket. A while later he was walking down Lymes Avenue just around the corner from the car park where the women was parked only to find a car parked on yellow lines so entered the details of the car to which the machine said "ticket already issued" What he thought :-? The silly moo had driven around the corner & parked illegally again & so today it cost her £140.00

All in all he was a decent guy with a sense of humour & NOT a robot. Just a crying shame they can't ALL be like him

I believe there are good and bad in all walks of life -- it's just unfortunate that the bad get all the press!!!!

Well I'm glad at least one warden is human ,perhaps he should give lessons , especially to the wardens in and around Bolton town centre.

I wonder if the reason for allowing them access to whether it is taxed MOTed etc is to save issueing tickets to cars that they wont get any money from ?
I mean it is the same as a speeding ticket, no point issueing it to car that has no keeper or MOT etc. as they are not going to get any money back from the fine.
Whereas if the car is legal and legit, they are virtually gauranteed of the fine money coming in.

I must say Del that there is one, a tall thin elderly man who is a regular warden that is a fair bloke.  I was once 9 minutes late in getting back to a one hour only bay, but he saw me running down the Church Street waving and stopped entering into his machine, and let me off with a smile! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

He probably had his leg over last night, just wait till his old girl has a headache

I've never had a parking ticket. My secret?

I dont park where I'm not supposed to and if I pay for 30mins, then I get back within 30 mins.
