It is a great feeling when you park legally on a yellow line for a traffic warden to tell you to move on and you show them the badge with your picture on it.

I was parked on a street meter bay in Manchester to be met on my return with a warden writing out a ticket for my car. I asked him why he is issuing the ticket? For him to almost gleefully pointing to the EXPIRED red flag on the meter. I asked him to come to the front of my car were my badge and time were displayed. Asking "why are you issuing me a ticket? " For him to say "I have started writing it now!" Once I asked for his number and requested that he takes a photo of the car and displayed badges he wrote across it "Invalid issue" and walked away. One of the shopkeepers close by was watching this and patted me on the back with a "well done about time someone got one on him"

Sorry to say this but it was a good feeling

Be Well
