What a twit ! If he ever gets his car back, I hope we can assume he won't park in a disable bay again.

[FrogNog]

I can see his side too. He seems happy to pay the fine. They should let him have his car back imo

[Bazile]

How did he manage without the wc for seven hours - or did he ?

[mikey4444]

Why should this inconsiderate man be treated any differently from other person who did the same thing ?

[Mamyalynne]

Well amazingly he got the result he wanted - car will be released and only the fine will stand.



I hope he's proud of himself.

[FrogNog]

Mikey to me the punishment is excessive to begin with.
There are always many more disabled spaces than disabled cars filling them.
A fine was enough in my opinion.

[Mamyalynne]

If he had stayed in the car, he could have moved for a warden or a disabled driver - no, he left the vehicle and that is why it was lifted.


If you chance parking somewhere you shouldn't common sense tells you to stay with the vehicle.

[Slapshot]

Because he was clever/sneaky enough to get one over on them... gotta enjoy a trier

[FrogNog]

Lol snapshot I can't argue with that.
In the words of the perpetrator (according to the BBC), Fair doos. ;)

[-Talbot-]

There is a lot of them about, a family of Romanians parked in the disabled parking at morrisons yesterday. I tried to explain that they should not park there.
They just ignored me, It turned out their disability was they didn't understand a word of english.

[FrogNog]

Talbot my lovely. That was pants. Must try harder. ;)

[factor-fiction]

Presumably you could follow some of their Romanian though Talbot

[-Talbot-]

oooooh FFI expected that sort of reaction from mikey. They were most definately Romanians, I have worked on the same building sites as them many times over the years.


Anyway, here is the real P I L L O C K of the day. http://metro.co.uk/2014/12/23/gta-fan-dialled-999-to-report-death-of-video-game-character-4997064/

Frognog...Disabled Bays are there for a purpose......to ensure that people who are less able-bodied can park more conveniently. So, by using this bay today,
he has prevented someone more deserving from using it. I am at a loss as to why you are defending him ?

There is a woman who works as a Virgin Air Stewardess, who continually parked in the disabled bay at my local Co-op at home in Swansea. Well, she did until she was behind me in the queue at the check out last summer, and I courteously allowed her go ahead of me, by saying to the lady on the till

" Please let this Disabled lady go first"

" But I'm not disabled ! " she exclaimed.

I replied " Well, if you are not disabled, why are you parked in the disabled bay then ? "

She never parks there now !

[FrogNog]

Mikey I'm not defending him, I'm saying the punishment is too harsh.
I've already said why.

[mikey4444]

Talbot...Romanians have absolutely no part in this thread...why did you see fit to change the subject ?

Unless it was to have a sneaky anti-immigrant rant of course ! You have been found out I'm afraid !

[mikey4444]

Well, then we have shall have to disagree on that point then frognog.

Out of sheer curiosity, is it just this p i l l o c k that you think has been hard done by, or do you think everybody else should be immune from our simple parking laws ?

Its possible that our posts may be crossing in the mail.

[FrogNog]

I think everyone should be immune from excessive laws. Does that cover it?

[mikey4444]

Ah...another person defending this twit...who would have thought it !

[-Talbot-]

pmsl...........I tell everyone who parks in a disabled of parent and toddler bay that they are out of order. Are you telling that I shouldn't have mentioned they were Romanian because that would make me racist?

You are one strange fish mikey.
