Even when slumbering in your coffin it seems

You just cannot make it up! :roll:
Dave Thomson reports on page 2 of today's Bolton paper...

Quote:



A parking warden slapped a ticket on a funeral limousine as the undertakers loaded a coffin into the hearse.

The undertakers in Ramsbottom say the ticket was slapped on the 8 seater limo just as the mourners were getting into the car :roll: :shock: :?

The mourners were mourning the death of John Hare a pesnioner whose death made headline news because he collapsed and died after being harassed by a gang of youths at his home. :cry:

To avoid further upset the undertakers discreetly removed the ticket and the frim plans to appeal because they have been told their vehicles are exempt from parking restrictions during loading and unloading coffins and limos of mourners.

Mr Hare's daughter commented that it is ridiculous that you can receive a parking ticket at your own funeral these days :lol:

The council claim the PA was aware it may have been a funeral car but could not acertain whether or not a funeral was taking place :roll: :roll: :roll:




:? Wot! :shock: :shock: :? There was a COFFIN being loaded into a hearse and a lot of people dressed in black and looking a bit upset here.
:?
Is there a special test to ensure the one brain cell they posess is defective here? :furious:

You just cannot make it up....:banghead:

Contrast with a reader's letter to this same paper who tells of one nice warden. She had taken a disabled person to town and when she looked at the parking tariffs - she realised a three hour max stay was not long enough. This particular warden directed her to a longer stay carpark nearby and even walked to the available place whilst she moved her car to make sure it remained free until she arrived to park and then helped her buy her tickets. :lol:

Actions like that (if true) give them all a bad name which is all we will remember.

Good on the lass helping out the disabled driver, we whould have more of them and less of the other type
