Elderly lady distressed by parking ticket

Jul 19 2011 Perthshire Advertiser Tuesday

Dear Editor, – On July 13 a 5pm I witnessed one of the town’s parking attendants book a car outside M&S in the loading bay.

No person was in the driver’s seat, but there was an elderly lay in the passenger seat.

Obviously there was a reason for the ticket to be produced, maybe a couple of minutes past the time allowed or maybe a wheel over the line by 20–30 cms? What I hope never happened was that the lady got distressed because of this action.

In my job, as a professional taxi driver, I encounter similar escapades. Maybe it’s time for the wardens to back off, think and then come and join the rest of us in “the game of life”.

Name and address supplied.
