Title: To all you idlers...
Post by: The Moan Ranger on March 04, 2010, 10:02:26 AM
North Lincolnshire plans to introduce ?20 fines to people who leave their car engines running whilst parked, because of climutchange.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/humber/8542728.stm

The power is being given to parking attendants who will use their "common sense" when deciding whether a fine should be imposed. Firstly, I don't think I have met a parking attendant who has "common sense" and secondly, I paid for the petrol so I will use it how I bloody well want!  cussing:

How long before parking attendants will be checking the depth of tread on your tyres, or whether there are any cracks in your windscreen?

Utter, utter wank.
