Nanny has yet again shown her true colours wrt her petty mindedness and jobsworth attitude towards her subjects. Ian Norfolk made the mistake of trying to park his car in Hull some 14 months ago, that was the start of a very sorry tale indeed.
When Mr Norfolk parked his car (perfectly legally) he bought a parking ticket, and went to visit his mum. On his return imagine his surprise to see that, despite the fact the parking ticket had one hour left to run, a traffic warden was in the process of issuing him a ticket.
Ker Farking Ching!
Mr Norfolk explained to the warden that he still had an hour left, the warden agreed and admitted that she had made a mistake.
Problem sorted?
Ermmm...no, not quite!
In Nanny's world nothing is ever so simple; because the warden had officially issued the ticket, the warden told Mr Norfolk he would have to appeal.
Some 14 months on, having taken on Hull City Council and endured threats from bailiffs (who extorted £434.36 from Mr Norfolk and pushed him into mortgage arrears), he has finally managed to get the council to admit that they were wrong and have offered to pay a refund.

The wardens are obviously trained by Bamber Gascoine - "I've started, so I'll finish"....
ReplyDeleteMr Norfolk should have sent his own bailiffs around to the council, to bully and intimidate THEM!
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that the ordinary man in the street, often cannot afford to take advantage of the law in order to get justice....I suggest he goes to a law centre or something similar and ask them to sue the council, the warden and the baliffs for the hastle and worry this crazy thing has become or, just insist on it being taken to court.
ReplyDeleteNanny really is our enemy now whereas, in reality, she is supposed to be our servant.

ReplyDeleteLast year the Chief Executive of Herefordshire Council was paid a total of £226,700.
That was:
£100,718 more than the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court
£152,949 more than the President of Russia
£69,598 more than the Secretary General of the United Nations
£34,885 more than the Chancellor of Germany
£102,969 more than the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve
£202,248 more than the President of India
Setting expenses aside the Chief Exec’s salary translates into $366,000. The salary of the President of the USA is $400,000.
So Mr Bull last year earned only 10% less than the Leader of the Free World.
All paid for out of Herefordshire council tax.
Councils should be closed down to get us out of the economic mess we are in
