I was sitting and talking with my wife the other day, we were reminiscing about when she ran her own toy shop in the local market town. At this time of year she was at her busiest with deliveries arriving twice a week. A local bobby made life easier for her by giving her a couple of traffic ‘police no waiting’ cones to keep the area outside the shop clear for the delivery lorries.
On one occasion she had put out the cones out only for a woman to park her car against them. My wife went out and asked her if she would mind moving down the road to another free space. The reply was not printable and the woman went off to do whatever she came to do.
As you might imagine ‘her in doors’ was furious. A couple of minutes later her friend (mug 'em mary) turned up and was quickly told what had happened. She didn’t waste any time, she’d spotted the traffic warden coming down the street. She pretended to be locking the car door and walked towards the advancing warden who stopped her. ‘You’ll have to move that’ was all he got out before he was told where to shove it, she then walked off.
By the time the ‘real’ car owner returned he’d not only written her a ticket but he’d also called the local bobby who was carefully checking the car over.
Laugh ..... we thought our trousers would never dry:D :D
