Train company angers motorists

Idiots.

I suppose someone behind a desk who hates cars and has no friends thought this was funny.

[stevenrt]

add up all the stress caused to people seeing a "parking ticket" on their car, then consider the mental and health effects of this, then balance that against some smug no nothing advertising hack who thought this up. I would make him do community service ...

And queue for hours for his train home.

Oh FFS ... it was a joke, fairly funny, and who's the first to be up in arms when the ASA criticises a car advert? I think they've been un-necessarily heavy handed here - again.

Would it be the wrong time to mention the parking ticket sepository?

[soulpatch]

And does anyone really believe, for one second, that even the managers of any train company actually use the trains to get to work?

They would be fired becuase the trains are always late!!

Huh? as well

I once met the CEO of a bus company who does commute 50 odd miles each way on his company buses. Mind you he did have a stop put up outside his house.
