Found an interesting story here about sneaky traffic wardens in Nottingham issuing dodgy tickets - the nice part is all the drivers involved are in line for a refund

The legal position is worth remembering, I avoided a ticket on a snowy day in Brecon once as the local rozzers there actually knew their onions and didn't even try to issue me with one

There's also this picture of a Scottish bus, apologies if anyone's seen it before but I liked it

Hi
Two stories I have heard from Stockport, they may be apochryphal.

A warden ticketed a motor scooter laying in the gutter while it's rider was being treated by ambulance people.
A bus was ticketed for overhanging the double yellows after the end of a marked bus stop

I wouldn't be surprised! Some towns get these reputations, I did hear a few years ago that anyone who suffers a breakdown in Ross on Wye is in trouble, apparently the wardens were always ready to pounce - mind you, I've never had trouble finding a legit (and free) parking space in Ross, admittedly I don't pass that way often but I reckon they'd be desperate for their commission
