That stinks!
Friggin unbelievable. When Ruth Ducker parked her VW Golf in a London street she had no idea she had parked in a no parking zone.So you can imagine her shock when she then discovered her car had been towed away. Then adding insult to injury she had to fork out £840 to get the damn car back. OK, I know what you are thinking…serves herself right! Well, what would you say if I told you after she parked the car, council contractors had lifted up her car, painted 2 yellow lines under it before having it towed.Oh yeah, that’s right, when she had intially parked her car it wasn’t a no parking zone but during her absence the Lamberth council had turned it into a no parking zone. Ooh and whats more they did it a day earlier than should have! They finally confessed after two months of hounding by Ms Ducker and her local MP. But bless, a spokesman for the council said “This was an unacceptable case. We are very sorry.” and are offering £150 in compensation.
Does the media actually want us to believe that they lifted the car and painted the lines? Well in Oz that just doesn’t happen. You see even when they are fixing the roads here we need signs to tell us that there are actually men working there. You can’t see them actually working but the signs are there to inform us as to what they SHOULD be doing. LOL
We have signs with MEN with little shovels and things but you don’t actually see them. We have signs with cows crossing but you don’t actually see them either. We also have signs pointing out kangaroos and koala bear habitats but never in 44 years have I seen one. From time to time I do smell the roadkill so I figure this could have been correct and they were there at some stage.
Ah the media, where would we be without them?
I believe Brimbank Council are on the verge of dismissal because they are too lazy to do anything at all. Lifting a car would be unheard of.
LOL! But Ann they have actually admitted they did it! Who knew? True though, I love those men at work signs
. . and just think: one of them might have been a prom queen ;-(
In Brimbank Council they are all ‘Prom Queens!!
Ahahha, Ann I thought that was drama queens!
