In the latest embarrassment for Apcoa, which operates in eight London boroughs, seven attendants were found guilty of gross misconduct while working on behalf of Lambeth council.

They were found to have issued tickets in the Brixton area on cars that were legally parked. They also used computer details of cars ticketed in the past to send their owners bogus fines.

Mmmm decriminalised parking regulation.. it just works...

Or as somebody I know working in a Local Government IT dept (presently under threat of being 'outsourced') adds to his work Email sig:

"Service, Price, Quality... Pick any two"

Attributable to somebody apparently.

I wrote a tasty letter to the parking ticket office manager at Surrey Police, enclosing a small selection of the photographs (ahh colour lasers ) I have to support my case.

Haven't heard back yet but I'm not sweating over it..
