strange things are happening in swindon

so this bloke parks his van in one of the town center car parks and gets a ticket for being overweight..

the parking weight limit is 2 tons which will exclude land rovers ,range rovers and many 'larger' cars...bonkers.

Re: strange things are happening in swindon

That's big news for the 'Adver'. Not my favourite newspaper as we had some Covid related issues last summer and there wasn't much truth in what they published, despite them having the facts....

This is only just the beginning. Councils all over the country have lost millions in fines during the covid lockdown and will stop at nothing to reclaim their lost revenue. Any tiny mistake such as parking 1mm over a double yellow and you'll be slapped with a ticket. And let's face it Stan, Swindon council is going to be more millions down when Honda closes.

Agreed Stan, bonkers.

But only disciminatory if they don't nick Teslas as well. I think a couple of them come in over 2 tons Whistle Cheers
