We live in Westminster and tried to park last night to no avail. Ended up having to stick it on a meter; only problem being the inside of the meter had been removed so no coin slot, display etc. No 'out of order' bag over the top so parked up!

Was then about to go to bed and thought about it.... knowing how Westminster employ numpties and little hitlers, I convinced myself that I would get a PCN for parking at an out of order meter? Went down and moved the bloody thing.

Is this what living in London is coming to? Just not worth the bother leaving the car overnight and coming down at 09.00 to find a PCN that I then have to fight all the way to Appeals etc before the w......rs back down? And I am sure they would have 'bagged' the meter, walked around the block and then found me parked at a suspended meter - leading to a PCN that I would struggle to fight. Absolute joke!

AARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! banghead
