Driver Steve Tether received a parking ticket after workmen painted yellow lines under his car.
Yellow lines painted under driver's parked car The men bounced his Nissan Micra away from the kerb, put down the markings and then bounced it back into position.
Mr Tether was then stunned to come back to his car in Hull and find a £30 fixed penalty ticket on it.
Staff at a nearby factory who had seen what happened came out to tell him and Mr Tether complained to Hull City Council, which cancelled the ticket.

You're right, could only ruddy happen here the bastards. Heard of this sort of thing and much more besides several times before. I am so sick of this countries mentality, this just epitomises it all. Rip off Britain.

Did you see the programme about traffic wardens in Manchester?
A guy had parked with a disabled badge and there was a traffic warden sticking a ticket to his car. When he protested that he had a badge displayed to allow him to park the warden just dismissed it with "well, I didn't see it".
He took it out of his car and took it up to the warden to show him.
While he did this, another warden came and wrote him another ticket ... knowing that he didn't have his badge displayed in the car (because he was showing it to the first guy).
Only in britain.

I think these wardens must work on commission. also they seem to be everywhere lately.
There was one in our local newspaper the other week where a bus was parked in the bus stop, loading up passengers and a warden slapped a ticket on its windscreen. totally mad

Reminds me of what happened to Ray Franz. The Borgmeisters changed the rules about disassociation so's they could DF him!!
Come to think of it, couldn't those Hull parking police be dubs??

Glad to see no-one thought I was "Pommie-bashing" in this post.
The article seemed to be straight out of the British comedy sketches I grew up on - it could just as easily have been in a Benny Hill Show, or an episode of The Goodies!

Legalism, whether of the beuraucratic kind or the religious kind... is a bitch.
