Maybe my post appears more serious than it was meant to be, however the point still stands. You say "Of course its wrong" as regards to running over traffic wardens but earlier you said in your 'running over' post "I have no sympathy for them" which to me implies that you would condone such an act. If I mis-interperated(sp??) that then I apologise.

Someone else pointed out earlier that the real beef is with the council/local authority and not the individual warden personally. You don't know what reasons they may have had for taking the job, there may be a perfectly good reason such as that was the best option for supporting his or her family.


Anyway not trying to start a row, just saying how the post looked to me


I take your points.

Its true these jobs are horrible and its ridiculous that someone employs people to do this work.

However you shoudn't confuse the person with their job. Francisb, what do you do for a living I wonder? ;-)

there is practically zero unemployment in the uk, especially in the many areas blighted by scamera partnerships and traffic wardens. there is absolutely no reason for even the most unemployable numptie to be doing these jobs of their free will. bbc's panorama exposed them as the bunch of low life parasitic criminals we all know they are. (and thats the official westminster wardens not even the clampers etc...)
