I used to work for the car-parking fine unit in Chelsea in the post room. I saw some terrible sights:
1. the cheque that someone had literally wiped their arse on.

2. the one stapled to the ticket a thousand times to render it unusable, but the worst was

3. a fiver, with a spindley, hand-written note, that stated the owner was visiting the doctor for their friend's prescription, and that they were terribly sorry - they accepted they'd parked wrongly - but they couldn't afford the £60 fine in one payment on their pension, would it be alright if they paid in installments instead, and here was a fiver as a first payment?

Heart-breaking, that was.

Also - your signature is bloody ace.

Stories like that really make me ashamed of the way we treat our most vulnerable.
