It's all really simple. New f
king Labour have spent all the money the country had on stupid wars that no-one wanted, and redecorating their offices. Now they're trying to get it all back by taxing us all to high heaven!
Trouble is we're all pretty much bked anyway due to "The Credit Crunch".
So give it 6 months and the majority will be inside for defaulting on all their debts. Anyone not in prison will be living in their cars and paying parking fines instead of council tax.
God help us, as now the only hope we have left is the Torys!!!

At the next election the whole Country should refuse to vote for any of these incompetent Shylock's !!!!!
or have a box on the ballot paper saying "none of the above"TW>>>
it's not that paying a parking fine is right, it's not fair! its not applied with common sense! stopping for a couple of minutes to offload or make a delivery / collection has now become a lottery, you are supposed to have 20 minutes to make a delivery,
there are to many double yellow lines that is not and never has been required to make road clear to drive through, to many are put in to force you to use car parks that are not safe to use, to far away from the shop to enable you to nip in and buy anything, just as speed cameras are just another tax collection device, so is parking regulations,

This is not a tax on the motorist, its a tax on the idiots who clog our streets illegaly parked.
Surely you realise you should question everything you are ever told by authority? Surely you should be capable of critical thinking? But no, you are simply an blindly obedient citizen, the product of a system that churns out people who are just intelligent enough to do their job and pay their taxes but dumb enough to passively accept the great big red white and blue dick that's being jammed up all of our arses but which the vast majority of the population are too stupid to see. So from my position you are just a nodding dog, and about as insightful as a second coat of paint.

Lots of talk of starting a revolution, buying tanks etc. We already have all the weapondry we need-------our much loathed, highly taxed, completely legal CARS!!!!!!! Stage a rally. Cromwell Road to The Tower of London should do it using only bus lanes so we don't inconvinience our fellow car drivers. Who's game?

It's £120 because many tickets are paid for by companies rather than individuals.
My FiL simply adds £60 to a London day time delivery, and considers it a bonus if they don't get a ticket
Companies pay the fines racked up by their lorry drivers and pass the cost on to their customer, who passes it on to their customer and ultimately (with mark-ups for administration) to the consumer. The car driver pays out of his own pocket (most companies will not allow employees to expense fines). A parked car takes up a third of the parking space of a lorry and obstructs less of the highway out from the curb ... but the fine is the same. On those bases, the car driver gets a really rotten deal.My FiL simply adds £60 to a London day time delivery, and considers it a bonus if they don't get a ticket
Local to me there is a Tesco Express. Throughout the day, large Tesco delivery lorries park on double yellows, block access to a private road, obstruct access to and egress and visibility from a side turning, and often arrive in twos or threes - causing greater obstruction and inconvenience to all ... but the 'Blue Meanies' only ever book cars parked on the double yellows!

PS - like their attitude to plastic bags, Tesco seem to need seven or eight articulated lorries to deliver a few items over the length of a day (including weekends). When the store was privately owned, there were four deliveries (including newspapers) in the morning and that was it. Tescos sells no grocery that the previous owned didn't

So they should be giving tickets to people not parked on double yellow lines? Have you contacted the council regarding painting double yellows where they park, if it's that much of a problem?

Wurzel, you really are a big dunce of the first order. I just love your slavish unthinking rationality.

I refer you to the answer given earlier by Andy Zarse - StreakyPerhaps you could ask your classroom helper to read what I posted a little more slowly and repeatedly to you, so that at least an inkling of my point might percolate into your brain.
I would also appreciate it if, in editing one of my posts, you did not attribute your words to me. Please correct your error [I have in this post].

That you can't see this fact leads me to believe you are slightly on the dimwitted side, and without any discernable intellect.
