Wheelie bin given parking ticket
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-s...wales-30913291

A bit of fun leads to a formal investigation? Some people seem to have had a humour bypass..:rolleyes:

I suspect there's a middle manager somewhere who isn't very busy so needs to be seen to be doing something ahead of the next budget allocation.

Fantastic... did the dum dum issuing the ticket fail to realise that this make of wheelie bin does not have an engine or is road taxable or needs and MOT.

Has Hell frozen over well it must have because I didn't think a traffic warden could have a sense of humour as I thought that might have been in the job description somewhere maybe in the small print ;)

Those 'Force Biffa' bins are quick. Especially the orange ones.

i think the sensible thing to do here is throw the traffic warden into a dark damp dingy dungeon where he will have the right to write to his local council to get his conviction overturned [maybe] if he can provide evidence that he committed no crime .

Although this was meant as a humorous incident, we take this kind of thing very seriously and have launched a formal investigation into the conduct of this officer.
What a bunch of time-wasting idiots (not to mention money wasting) - they really do need to get a life.

I could tell it was a joke - it wasn't in Port Talbot. You could believe it happening around here.

Yes I know it was a joke... Just trying to bring a bit of humor to the article.

Anyway the traffic warden in question is in hot water with the employers.
