    Said this for a long time, traffic wardens should be the first line of defence against domestic terrorism and should be armed with an arsenal of heavy duty weapons

    Yes. How will they write tickets without arms?

    School dinner ladies should campaign to be issued with bullet proof tabbards and tazers as a bare minimum IMHO

    I'm thinking the same,
    Let's arm them with plastic explosives, so any illegally parked vehicles can just be blown up.

    Although this would damage one of their important revenue streams...

    Ah well, you can't have everything..

    Yes and their line managers should have access to tactical nuclear weapons just in case.

    They should be armed with bricks. Rather than giving tickets to people who have overstayed their parking by 30 seconds or whatever, they should brick the windows of inconsiderate parkers. 2 bays, disabled parking when they're not disabled etc etc.

    My personal bug bear with parking here in Leeds; in Leeds trinity car park, there's some 'small car bays' on the bottom where the lines are a little narrower and the roof lower. So many times I've parked in these only to get back to my car and be unable to get into it because some **** has squeezed a range rover in next to me. Bricks through every window for those *******s.

    My problem with parking in Leeds is that they have got rid of free Sunday parking on the streets in town. True, it's only a quid for 4 hours but grumble grumble etc. There did used to be 4 spaces that were still free near Yates' by Morrisons but they've just changed them too. Buggers!

    I've not lived here that long and aside from street parking, which is scandalous in itself, the cheapest places to park are upwards of £2.50 per hour which I just can't comprehend.

    Before I moved here, I once had something to pick up from Trinity, and didn't know where the car park was. I pulled into the closest one I could see which was an NCP. I literally hopped out of the car, nipped to footlocker and was back at the car within 11 minutes... £8 it cost me... 8 BLEEDIN QUID FOR 11 MINUTES PARKING.
