The Government, Parking Tickets, and Rubbish Systems.
Why is it that parking in big cities is so difficult? It doesn't matter if you're parking on a quiet road, or a heavily-congested area, the Traffic Wardens are out to get you!!
Take, for instance, my latest "misdemeanour" with regards to parking. I parked on a quiet street that had residents parking, but also some metered bays. As such, I parked in a space, got a ticket for an hour and a bit, and walked off to meet some people, do some stuff, etc. I came back with ten minutes left on my ticket, and found that I'd been given a parking fine! "Why?" I wondered, until I decided that maybe the Traffic Warden was one of those typical, shortsighted0as-fuck BASTARDS that decided just to have a quick look, made sure he couldn't "see" a meter ticket, and slapped a "£60 in 28days, or else" fine on my car.
Tonight, though, as I was getting ready to write a strongly-worded letter to the bastardswhatdoneit, I was speaking to my brother, who asked his friends online, and they said that I must've got caught out parking in one of the residents bays by accident. Bollocks.
So, I decide to do as the ticket tells me, and pay. I realise I've got two days left, so posting it's out of the question. Thus, what can I do? Oh, apparently I can go online and pay it. Excellent, right?
Wrong.
As with any Government-built online service, it's fucked. Doesn't work. Kaput. Basically, as usual with our bloody democratic muppets, they've only half-built the system. The same way they're half-building our NHS, and half-building our policemen's uniforms. Half-built fucking everything! THAT'S what's wrong with this bastard country.
Independence? It'll be a half-built Scotland!

Call up and pay it over the phone, I've done that before - and the NHS has been going so long its more half torn down than half built.
