maybe he just wanted to stop there for a short time, so didn't bother parking it properly?
Can't say for this otehr "Brittain" ... but Great Britain isn't full of low salaried employees who are depserate for tips and back handers to afford meals and having to work 3 jobs :0
ZING !!
That was the point. Trust me I've TRIED offering an incentive to parking staff TO be fair more and more private operated parkign areas tunring upa nd these seem staffed by dodgier people

Bah, I had been drinking a little and my spelling was off in all my posts.
I have the same problem, actually. I can never bribe people successfully, even after watching someone do it. That may have something to do with the fact that when people see me they always think I'm a cop, though. I'm still not sure why.
Edit: Yes, learn how to park no matter what you drive. And don't think that you can take up two places just because you're driving a nice car and don't want someone to park next to you. Driving a nice car doesn't make you better than me (just more successful and probably with hotter women) and if I have to I will squeeze my beat up 4x4 in next to your shiny new car just to teach you a lesson.

PRoblem in the UK is that not only is everywhere monitored on CCTVs but all the parking stuff is done using "technology". So handhel box links to local parkign meters and reads the tickets on cars to confirm validity adn if more than 2 minutes over due AUTOMATICALLY print out the ticket and take photos of car timestamped that is uploaded to the compter file on the case. Nothing along the chain where people can be bribed I hear beating them up doesn't work any more either !!
I once was IN COURT for an erroneous parking ticket. 4 months of letters an dcommunicatiosn and the "compjuter system" still wanted me to pay the fine. So I wen tto court and having a great defense lawyer ( represetnted myself ) got off with it AND the SHerrif ( Scottish equivelent of the judge ) not only APOLOGISED to me but torn a strip off the prosecution Procurator Fiscal ( == District Attorney ) and ahd them pay all my expenses All along the way a human being coudl have stopped it but the computer systema dn the "Process" doesn't allow individuals to make choices like that .
