Think you'll find smoking in a company vehicle is illegal now too.

In Scarborough last year, I parked in a disabled bay, displayed my blue badge, the correct way, with the time (which we didn't have to but always do) and off we went. On return I had a parking ticket and couldn't work out why. Everything was correct with the badge, I was parked in a designated disabled bay but still had a ticket. Anyhoo it turned out I hadn't paid, which is something we always check on the boards as different councils around the country have different rules, but for some reason, we didn't this time.

Did I a) shout and scream and complain that how dare he give me a parking ticket as my blue badge was displayed correctly and all above board? did I b) pay the fine and vow never to just walk away again but always check if I have to pay? or did I c) Moan, complain and whinge on Sin Bin then when told I was in the wrong and shouldn't have done it, start calling everyone holier than thou?? Hmmmmmm difficult one this.

Didn't ring mate to get me out of it, just rang for advice on the issue.

I'm not trying to get out of it I hold my hands up, peeved with the way it was done.
No not a scouser.

Next?

What about option D - Claim I be holier than thou, everyone who commits a petty crime should be stoned to death and then look down with binoculars for a reply on sinbin from up on my moral high ground whilst sitting on a high horse

I broke the speed limit and I got the opportunity to pay to attend a speed awareness course instead of points and a fine.
Most people on the course were were a bit contrite, they knew they'd done wrong.
But one guy, whose job was delivery driving, kept returning to his favourite moan about how the camera wasn't fair and how you could always argue your case with a copper, for example if you were rushing your wife to the maternity hospital.

When asked if he was rushing his wife to the hospital, he replied that he hadn't.

But he had broken the limit? Yes.
And did he have a valid mitigating reason? No.
Did he stop moaning all day? No.

This thread reminds me of that time.

p.s. I learned quite a bit from that course but I doubt the delivery driver did.

No one has said you should be stoned to death, you were caught littering, something that lots of people hate, pay your fine and shut up, man up FFS.
