You'd be surprised Tony, it aint just dog owners, there's nuff people about with a really bizarre outlook on their own self-importance. I recently took a bunch of my young lads to play in a 5-a-side tournament in another, quite upmarket part of town. During a warm up kick-about one of my lads lofted a ball that accidently hit the parent of a kid on another team. A bloke picked our ball up, calmly pulled a Stanley knife out (he looked like he'd come straight from a construction job) punctured our ball and threw it back at my lad. Error.

Sorry to hear about that Sab. Wankers
I'm not suprised SS, I live in Birmingham so I know there is a huge amount of cunts around. I just still can't get my head around why people would act that way, especially round kids.

Bad luck Marco but this may make you feel slightly better. I recently went to the theatre and parking is always impossible so imagine how pleased I was when I found a gap big enough to squeeze 2 cars in right outside the venue. I was meeting friends with a car too so the space was perfect. Anyway, they pulled up and I moved over to let them into my gap and off we went to watch the Breakin Convention. Which was a bit rubbish. Came out to find why there was such a big parking space. We were parked in front of a fire hydrant point or some shit and there was double yellow lines (which indicate no parking) but all the leaves falling off the trees had totally covered the floor. Result? 2 x £35 parking fines. Which go up to £70 if you don't pay it within 2 weeks. Which I forgot to.

Think I heard somewhere that if the lines are covered or very badly worn then you can appeal. It's their responsibility to keep that shit visible.
I say take a pic and kick up fuss. The melting snow one though, that's tough to prove.

Yeah it's a whole lot easier now, suppose thats the beauty of most modern phones, everyone walking around with cameras.
There's a new traffic warden sytem that has just kicked in down here, it's crazy. Run by the council now instead of the beast.
There taking photos and videos of cars, they've scrapped the grace period of 5 mins, even if you're just unloading something quickly.
Hardcore bastards now that's for sure.

I think in Finland they are not allowed to write a ticket if they are not sure that the car has been there for more than five minutes. I guess they are giving you time to pay your parking.
Lately they've become much more civilized around here. Like couple of years ago you really had to pay the ticket in time (two weeks) or it went up 1.5 times the original fee. Now they are more flexible with that.
Still it doesn't make it nicer to get a ticket and as Marco said usually there's no one else to blame than yourself.
