OK, here's my Story,
Last Oct a street in Louth was closed due to contractors renewing the electric cables. I asked the contractors if I could park I their work space,where the street was closed. They said it was OK, so I did. About 1 1/2 hrs later I noticed traffic in the street and the signs were gone. I also noticed a parking ticket on my windscreen!!!. The street is one way and enterd from traffic lights and there were signs stating that the street would be closed untill Nov!?! I decided to go to court with it!
April this year finally I was in the local Magistrstes Court (never been in court in my life!). Up stands the prosicutor "Er, Mr Salkeld is accused of parking illegally in....somewhat......unusuall circumstances and, MR Salkeld, after consultation with the Inspector and the Traffic Warden we have decided to withdraw the case against you."
The report in the local paper (the reporter is an occasional customer!) read:
CLEANER SET FREE BY COURT!!!
Remember Louth is a small market town where you can't itch your arse without someone knowing about it! My customers, and others held me as an hero!
