Where do they get these jobsworths from - to quote David Jason as Inspector
Frost "Were you *born* cold-blooded? Or is there some sort of transfusion
you can get on the NHS these days?" ;-)

A couple of colleagues took some equipment into central London. They
stopped the car in a parking bay, under the watchful eye of a Traffic
Warden, put four quid in the meter and started to unload. All watched by
the said TW. When they returned for the next box the TW was
photographing the car and typing up a ticket. They asked him what was
going on and he pointed out that although the meter they had put money
in looked like the one for the parking bay, it was in fact for the next
bay along. They moved the car but still got the ticket.

Of course the Jobsworth sat and watched them pay at the wrong meter
without correcting their mistake or even telling them to move one
parking bay backwards.

They said the only pleasure they got out of the incident was seeing a
truck run over the TWs scooter.

As you say, born cold blooded.
