some weeks back my wife and i were parked on the sea front at south end.
we were there for several hours and watched the parking wardens keep venturing out from their secure position behind a closed ice cream van.
they placed parking fines on several vehicles, we were imune as we occupied our vehicle and my wife had displayed her dissabled badge as well.
i decided to look at the parking signs more closely than i had done when we arrived, they were very missleading in my opinion, along with several other motorists we tried to decifer what the signs really meant.
the point is the middle area which could take some 30 cars was prohibitted, and this was where the tickets were being applied. either side of this section, which was far from obvious, you could park for one hour.
when i realised what the set up was, i started to approach motorists and expose the entrapment area.
so it's not just our government who are a bit devious but some of our local authorities as well. it's easy money for them and most people won't take them on. it is just the same as the speed cameras hidden in a hedge row. what do you think ? herbiemercman.
