You're under the misapprehension that I care what strangers think of me on the internet.

My heart bleeds. Anyone who is at the sharp end of a system that penalises motorists for minor offences, charging them ridiculous sums of money out of all proportion to any inconvenience suffered - they deserve the name. Anyone who says "just doing my job" as they dish out a £120 parking...

Not if there is a fault in the connector. Connect two 12V sources in series and you get a 24V source.

Probably worried he'd get caught over the limit. 10AM whiskies will do that....

I have my reasons, some of which I've explained above quite clearly. Perhaps you could explain to me why parking wardens in the examples I've quoted feel that its acceptable to issue invalid tickets? These are people who are supposed to be enforcing rules and regulations. Why don't they...

If you want to feel insulted at my comments because you enjoy working in a job that I feel takes money from people for no good reason, then that isn't my problem, its yours. Nothing I have said here has been aimed at any forum users in particular. The same however cannot be said of others here.

The traditional outgoings of a Labour government.

You'll get no agreement from me on calling the Police 'pigs'. The Police have a valuable job to do, I'm glad they exist, and generally they have my full support.

Lets do away with the scum and fine people for parking where they're actually causing an obstruction, and not just as a means of generating revenue for the council. Lets do away with such scum issuing PCNs on technically invalid parking bays. Lets do away with such scum issuing PCNs that do...

I used to own a Chimaera. The boot is colossal. Believe me, you'll fit all your luggage in there. Theres less space with the roof off, but still enough for a fat suitcase. Roof on and you'll get 2 fat suitcases in, with space at either side for more. There are also small spaces behind the...

Doesn't matter how much they're paid - they're still scum IMO.

Yes. Go to www.pepipoo.com and ask there. Thats the right thing.
