Plese Keep This Receipt For You Records
Looks like the Council have been spreading festive cheer; and I thank all that is holy for the fact I don’t own a car.
But how the hell did these people manage to spell ‘receipt’ correctly, and then fail to work out the rather simpler ‘please’ and ‘your’? It gets worse. Take a look at the official documentation on the Penalty Charge Notice. Here we get delights such as ‘recieve’, ’stamp addressed envelope’, ‘Saturday 9am 1pm’ and ‘idependent adjudicator’. Surely there must be someone on the payroll who can spell?
Best of all, the poor sod whose car was towed away was fined £260 for being ‘PARKED IN A RESTRICTED STREET DURING PRESCRIBED HOURS’.
Well, surely that’s not a crime? If they’d parked during ‘proscribed’ hours, that would be a different matter. I’d challenge the ticket on those grounds.
Frankly, if I had a car that had been towed by these idiots, I’d let them crush it. Even if it were a Bentley. If it made these people happy, and kept the target-driven freaks off my case, I’d consider myself someone who had got off lightly.

Identikit quirkiness
Most droll, and more than a little accurate. Found with a Masonic Boom.
