Some seemed to think that officiousness and by-the-book enforcement was a great career-move.
I usually succeeded in disavowing them of that notion

'Common sense' is actually not all that common.
Yes, councils seem an attractive option to those seeking the position of petty official.

Re: Car parks

I just never get all the ill feeling toward 4x4 drivers quite frankly. I used them for over 10 years. Many are nice to drive, you're high up with a good view of the road ahead, and you don't get stuck in the snow!

The fault lies with the morons who design car parks with stupidly small spaces, and those who can't park their cars in the bays properly if their life depended on it!

Re: Car parks

It's not that I dislike 4x4s, it's just that I couldn't afford to run one.

If I was a builder or other tradesman, I'd buy a Transit van...

a white one, of course!

Fair comments Fender.
