  1. Spotted a cop on a stealth push bike in Willenhall West Mids today (Wolves
    not Cov.). Definitely the coolest thing Willenhall has seen for a long
    time....'part from me of course 8-D
    ....and the best thing was, he was moving an illegally parked WVM off the
    double yellows, opposite Somerfield exit, in front of banks. These yellows
    seem to be a special marking to allow FLB (fat lazy b*stards) to get money
    from the bank ATMs without having to travel too far from their beloved
    cages.
    Unfortunately the cop disagreed and moved him on...Brilliant!!!, I almost
    stopped and applauded. Interesting fact - cop had long(ish) highlighted
    hair, causing confusion as to whether it was a cop or not. Very amusing as
    he was tall, tanned, good looking and obviously fit (no!, I'm not gay or owt
    ;-). Very competent on his bike, totally confident and a cool uniform to
    boot (or possibly not, given exercise and local ambient temperature.....)
    Excellent, money well spent at last!!!

  2. WVM?

    I heard on a talk show once that it wasn't illegal to park on yellow lines
    if you told the warden you were collecting valuables, including money. Don't
    know if he was mistaken or not.

    Around these 'ere parts it seems to be accepted practice that yellow lines =
    reserved parking spaces for the hard of thinking ;-)

    Money is not goods, for the point of collecting or delivering goods
    while parked briefly on yellows.

    (Test case in England & Wales many years ago).
