tickets

As you nurse your body through the hangovers of festive excess on Boxing Day spare a brief thought for the Parking Wardens of Brighton and Hove. In a move designed to guarantee festive cheer the council has decreed that there should be no cessation of ticketing, no loss of revenue, even on this Holiday.

It falls to the humble Parking Warden to be the agent of good tidings whether there is rain or snow, sleet or hail, even if the temperature is below freezing. They wander the streets spreading their tickets of joy amongst the miserable motorists without thanks, without appreciation.

Raise a glass to them tomorrow, the brave defenders of bureaucracy, for without them where would we be?
