I used to be a traffic warden in chelsea.
Sorry but I had to feed my wife and kids, it was only a job, I know I will rot in hell for it.

Anyway one day I was on patrol around Knightsbridge and usually had a look in Edinburgh gate to scare a delivery driver or two off, then skive along south carraige drive to get out of doing work.
However this one day I couldn't be bothered and walked along knightsbridge.

Got about 100 yards and BOOM. It was the IRA bomb that killed the horses in hyde park going off.

Anyway rushed back to the traffic lights and with 2 other wardens kept the traffic moving against the lights to get the police and ambulances through.

Left soon after, didn't fancy any more of that.

Sorry not a funny post.

There's nothing wrong with traffic wardens
But there IS something wrong with cunts who think they can dump their cars anywhere, with no regard to other people. MORE traffic wardens, I say.

Agreed

Traffic-wardens
and traffic-management were significantly fairer three decades ago.
My uncle, then a member of the HHC, narrowly avoided the same explosion and 2 of his favourite horses got splatted.

I remember those horses getting monged at Hyde Park
I'm pretty sure me and my sister both sent some of the injured horses packets of Polos - having been encouraged to do so by Blue Peter.

That's really nice
a simple gesture from an innocent child.
Why can't we all be like that?
