Ok so here is a story.....
Quite a few months ago in Oldham, Manchester where I deliver to a shop....
They were doing something to the road at the time...
EVERYONE in Oldham is going berserk because what the council is doing is a nightmare! Everyone I talk to complains like crazy! They can not fathom what the council are doing, the mind boggles!!!!
Anyway..
So It is enough of a nightmare to get to the shop where I deliver to... With all the trams & one way Mayhem being created..
I go to the rear of the shop on the back street, which is enough of a mission to get to...
I unload and then I drive round the one way, past the front of the store where there is a "LOADING ONLY" parking bay for deliveries to the front of the store.
They have most the street coned off and there is *limited* parking for deliveries. Very limited parking!
But low & behold what do we find?!!! A council CCTV car!!! complete with black mast, up periscope!!! I am like, what!?
The Guy is taking up a huge part of the limited loading parking with his little car!!!!!!?
What is the point stopping people from parking somewhere if you are going to take that space up yourself!!!!!!!!!!
You should have parking wardens! What a waste of time a guy sat in a car doing nothing!!! with a camera swaying about on the roof like a pirate ship!!!!
I just thought it was stupid!!!
So I though "I am going to get a photo & complain to the council!" How can you protect parking space by parking in that space!? Just stupid stupid!
So I drove back round. Parked in front of the shop I had been delivering to more or less, I am in a delivery van. & grabbed a couple photos in less than 30 seconds! then drove off!!! Here are the photos!
WHAT IS THE F#KIN' POINT!!!?
up periscope! DooooOOOOoooo!!!
STUPID.
Then Guess what happens??!!! A week later We get a PNC parking charge notice through, a fine! for parking on a loading bay! The guy in the car must have grassed me in because I had taken photos of him! I didnt even get around to complain!!
They got me before I got the council!
& they have this fob off system to get out of complaints now, just like Chorley council.. where they divert you to anyther company down south "chippenham?" to escape complaints.. when the wardens are employed by the council!
So I wrote some colourful letters & emails in, but no refund. Although they do seem to have got rid of the silly car and put wardens back on patrol again. The locals still despise what the council are doing, even they cannot fathom it! If you want a nightmare trip try visiting Oldham centre, you will not be dissapointed for "engineering & planning comedy"
Anyway... We move forward in time a few months to today.. & I was just delivering to the shop again, when I spy 2 wardens.. & I thought.. Right, I am going to ask them if I am allowed to stop briefly to capture a photo of someone parked illegally so I can report it to the council!?
So I filmed a quick movie with my phone & guess what! The Wardens said I "WAS OK TO STOP TO GET A QUICK PHOTOGRAPH OF A PARKING OFFENDER TO REPORT IT!" So i shouldnt have had a ticket through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The council did it out of spite because I was going to report them & complain!!
This is the tip of the iceberg.
We have had a £140 fine from Islington council where the road signs was illegal from weight limit... guess what? no reply! no sorry! no appology! THEY WILL NOT ADMIT LEGAL FAULT!!!!!
Councils will just NOT ADMIT ANYTHING!!!!! EVEN QUESTIONS REGARDING NOTICES. Or it IS VERY DIFFICULT to get proper responses!
I state now that the councils are RUBBISH!, VENGEFULL! SNEAKY! and CORRUP!! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!!??
You go into the council receptions and its full of nice young blonde girls but they are DIM! EXTREME DIM!
And the legal staff & Higher up persons are just frank side bottoms with a packet of crisps & a football rattle saying "we will not be beat"
It is the "working mens club" bastion of old KES school teacher film 1960's design & authority.
Councils are seriously outdated and I am certain it is the Labour party left overs that are the problem.
Not that the conservatives arent as bad... Cameron with his sleeves rolled up, looking like he might do some work, then a photo of Baroness Cramer with a high vis jacket and a foot on a shovel... "yeah right pretend work" honestly.
Like you have just chipped in to help out all day. (not that I am the best helper in our work force)..
But you cannot win..
Its either cold hard, Mr. Labour scabs.. cheat a back hand, lie of poverty, now im a big man in a power trip, but dim as sin.. lets chese the rich kids down the road pissed up on methylated spirits and beat them up because they have a better childhood than us..
Or its the conservative Oxford lets learn you to have a filthy mouth, was that an insult... I can charge you £100,000 for clicking my fingers butler, because thats what we are taught around here jeeves.
And the middle man gets all the fines from both ends. Ripp off and ripped off.
Ripped off from above & ripped off from below that has managed to get above.
The truth is that ALL THE GOVERNMENT ANDCOUNCIL WANT TO DO IS FUCK US. THE LABOUR SCABS WANT TO GET TO THE TOP TO BE THE BOSS AND THE CON SERVES WANT TO HOLD THAT POSITION!!!!!!!!!!!
BENT.
BENT, BENT, BENT, BENT.
WILL WE ALL EVER LEARN TO GET ALONG TOGETHER??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
