“You may have a good chance of appealing the tickets as I did when I lived in London. I got off loads in the shot time I was there, and believe me only 2 or 3 were my fault genuinely, at least 15 were fines issued via cameras and were all wrong! Despite how stupid the below appeal reasons are... Westminster council are pretty daft....

1. The ticket machine was working but it was not accepting my pound coin. This is the councils fault for not servicing the machine correctly. I used the same pound coin in another parking machine the following day and it worked fine.

2. The ticket machine was not working at that moment neither was the closest one, or the one next to that so therefore I could not buy a ticket.

3. (If you have a badge)My disabled badge slipped onto the floor when another car struck mine without my knowledge, therefore the warden did not see it.

4. The time stated on the photograph of my car does match the time indicated on the ticket... I require you to involve trading standards timing and measurements act before you proceed to check the accuracy.

5. The ticket enforcement officer was not wearing a uniform at the time of issuing the ticket. Therefore, a ticket cannot be valid.

6. Please can you reissue the ticket in Persian Brail as I cannot understand English, and I am blind. Even though I am the owner and registered keeper of my car, I do not and cannot drive it, and employ a carer to drive it and park it for me. If this request is not met, I am afraid I cannot proceed with the alleged allegations. Please note I have had to employ a Persian translator to type this document for me, which I am asking you to reimburse the costs of £35 for. If you do not reimburse these costs within 28days, I will have no choice but to pursue the matter through court.

7. I did display a valid ticket, however it was stolen as my car window was forced down.

8. The sign does not clearly indicate the time I can park here without a ticket.

9. The sign says different restriction restrictions apply on bank holidays, the 24th is a bank holiday where I come from, I thought UK is in the EU? and subject to same regulations. Please prove evidence that the UK is not in the EU if you would like to proceed.”

“i think people take on traffic warden jobs because their lonely! and like to pee people off just for the fun of it!! but like most jobs,they have targets too reach for that bonus. but i do agree if the people of the mosque are causing real problems for traffic,id say close it down,i bet in there country they wouldnt allow us to build a church??? im not racist in any way,im with a asian myself but i think the council should designate proper parking spaces for them like they do with the gypsies.”

“MH Your response to my post was adequately answered by Ian (Bradeley). But it seems you are more interested in some anti-religious diatribe than really commenting on this as a news story. There is ample evidence for faith in the Bible if you would take a look, but brief postings on a newspaper website is hardly going to give space to such a debate.

In any case, I have a "feeling" that you have about as much ability to think logically as Warren has in spelling, and that your mind is like hardened cement, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. Please try your best to stay on topic.

It may be that parishioners at the Catholic church are easier targets for wardens' tickets, it may be that the people at the mosque are given more leniency in parking, it may seem that there is one application of the law for one group and another for others, but the fact is these folks justly got a ticket, and should pay it. Two wrongs do not make a right, and how others are treated is irrelevant to the discussion. The priest should be encouraging people to keep this law and not to break it.”

“The parking rules should and do apply to both Christians and lapsed ones such as myself. BUT if you drive through Longton high street , Shelton, Northwood, Cobridge or any other of the salubrious areas of the city you will see special people who park where they like and who traffic wardens and the useless old bill do nothing about. Whether they are instructed to ignore these people or whether they just bottle it who knows.

What I do know is just like in the Iraq war every bomb which fell on a civilian area acted as a recruiting seargeant for Al Quaeda
So this deliberate inaction by the authorities persuades more people to vote for the BNP.”

“yes i have to agree with norma.warren you should'nt insult people its not nice.
you should have said this
wheres the proof that backs this religious stuff up.
the answer is always that we have no proof other than a feeling i have in my heart.water comes out of the taps and the lights switch on and it don.t happen with a feeling I can tell you that.”

“These traffic wardens are walking and in a lot of cases driving around looking for cars parked on double lines or any infringement up to 11oc at night and this not just as the council claim to keep the key roads clear its a money making racket plain and simple from a council desperate for money at any cost,its a pity we council tax paying public cant,t fine the council for the filthy littered streets all around the city.”

“mr moore.
These segregation laws were thought up by Christians in the first place.so what was all that about.
problem is this.
the world is how it is because of christians and all the other abramic/nonabrahamic religions.they all seek to control our minds.credit crunch ,what credit crunch ,please keep buying .”

“Warren it matters not whether your spelling is correct or the fact that you do not use correct English as long as people can understand the point that you are making. But please do not call people who have a particular belief or any belief for that matter stupid as I find this offensive.I would like to wish you a Happy new Year and look forward to further comments from you, so lets not go down this road of making somewhat nasty remarks in retaliation of what other people put this then would give you the moral high ground.”

“To MH

Mr Moore quoted ¿Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due¿. Elsewhere in the scriptures, we are also told to render Caesars things to Caesar, but Gods things to God. This is taken as meaning that we should be obedient to the laws of the land and to Gods laws. If there is conflict between the two laws, then the true Christian obeys the higher law of God. The apostle Paul added to this by writing ¿is it for nothing that they carry the sword¿. The ¿they¿ he was referring to is the governmental authorities that again Paul states are in relative subjection to God and by extending obedience to them, we have obedience to God. In that ¿They carry the sword¿, they have a right to distribute appropriate punishment for those who choose to ignore the law. The situation you mention that prevailed in times past in both South Africa and America would have been contrary to the superior laws of God who views men of all sorts as equal.

I trust that this clarifies my position that those who break the law (albeit a small law regarding the payment of parking charges) should not complain when appropriately punished and I feel that the Priest is well out of order by asking those of his congregation to break there obedience to the local governmental authority as this in turn breaks there higher obedience to Gods priciples themseleves.”

“I never thought i would say this but give the parking back to the Police, at least their traffic wardens had common sense. They really do go round like they are in charge of the world and do not listen to reason.

I have never trusted this council with anything as they always manage to make a mess and this is yet again something that they have got that they have made worse”
