LL was shopping in Windsor yesterday...
She parked her car and followed her usual habit of storing the parking ticket safely in her cigarette packet...
An hour later she returns to the car (no doubt encumbered by bags containing dresses and shoes
) to find a newly opened packet of cigarettes in her handbag and no parking ticket - she had thrown it away!
So, she returns to the shopping centre and starts rummaging through the bin where she thought she had thrown the last packet away...
A Mum sitting nearby with a baby in a pushchair sees her and says: -
"Would you like to share my sandwich dearie?"
She returned ticket-less to the parking office to be told that the lost ticket fee was £20!
Whereupon she politely explained to the attendant that he could stick his £20 up his arse and check the CCTV to see when she actually arrived - Result, £5 parking charge!
