Parking Wars: The Empire Strikes Fine
Local councils and parking enforcement go together like traffic wardens and bad attitudes. One minute, you're pulling into a space outside your favorite café, and the next, a mysterious figure in a high-vis vest materializes out of thin air, slapping a ticket on your windshield with the smug precision of a ninja. Meanwhile, the council insists that the 17 confusing signs, contradictory road markings, and the fact that the pay-and-display machine only takes ancient Roman coins are all part of their "streamlined" parking system. And if you dare to challenge a fine? Congratulations! You’ve just entered a bureaucratic labyrinth so complex that even a seasoned lawyer would rather pay the £60 and move on with their life.
