Got royally screwed over at a delivery point on Monday and left with literally minutes to spare on a 15 hour day so the options were push on to park and get an infringement or park on double yellows outside. Opted for double yellows. About an hour later a traffic warden turned up and appeared to be preparing to ticket me. I spoke to him and politely explained the situation and possible ramifications of exceeding my hours. He took pity on me and agreed to turn a blind eye on this occasion.
Later on I got to thinking that not only had I broken the law but he had blatantly abetted me, so being civic minded the next day I phoned his employers and informed them of what had happened. Today I was delighted to receive a call back during which they informed me that they considered their employee to be guilty of gross misconduct and had sacked him.
Merry Christmas fella.
None of this actually happened, but it made me smile when I first heard it.
