  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!!! Dave.

  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).
