0 ometimes traffic wardens (who do a very difficult lob in trying circumstances) can be their own worst enemies. The jobsworth of the month award goes to David Hughes from Pontypridd in South Wales. The conscientious Mr Hughes has issued a
ticket to wait for it—a rubbish bin! The offence he wrote on the ticket was "rolling bin". The bin had been mischievously moved into a pay-anddisplay car park by some darling kiddiwinks. The owner of the bin, winebar proprietor Jeff Skinner, was not amused: "The warden needs his eyes tested," he fumed. A spokesman for the local council concurred: "Clearly tickets cannot be issued for things such as wheelie bins and we won't proceed with this." With Dave around I wouldn't want to stand still in that car park too long, for fear of having a ticket slapped on me, charged with the offence of "stationary pensioner."
