Grrrrrrrrrrr

My parter has had 3 tickets in a year on my street. (HU5)
Ok, one was her fault, the 2nd she's appealing and the latest, last night, she had her parking permit displayed on her dashboard, but still got a ticket at 9.30pm.... Not sure how the warden can see the dashboard clearly in the dark...
So my question is, does anyone know what time they start and finish patrolling?
I'm sure if this warden had looked on the dashboard, he'd have seen the permit, and how can they take photographic evidence in the dark? Ill be interested to see the quality of the photos with the flash on the windshield

Do you by any chance live Newstead/Perth Street/Wharncliffe area?

Wardens usually come at the latest time of 9pm, although i have on occasion seen them at 9.30pm.. They usually arrive in a morning at 8am.

I live in zonel parking down Newstead street, I have one car for one house, Some house holders down the same street have 2/3 cars per house, I work shifts so i come accross this problem all of the time, I have not had a ticket yet simply because i'd rather walk 10minutes from another street (even if thats several streets away), Rather then pay a £30 fine.

Yer I'm Newstead... I don't even own a car, Just a money making scam, verging on illegal. They are brave waking around that time of night.

Only 3min after posting, they are here again, ticketing a White van. They must wait until a event starts at the stadium then come.
Traffic wardens where meant to be there to keep the flow of the traffic and ensure safety. Guess them days have gone. I once saw two wardens arguing over a car they both wanted to ticket, each claiming the car was on their patch. If they didn't have targets to reach then it wouldn't  have caused an argument!!!

Just seen one outside my house with helmet on, You live down same street as me so that figures. Very annoying aren't they.

They are here because Hull FC appear to be playing at the KC. They always arrive at times when matches are on at the stadium. Very devious.

Ouch certainly cannot. I won't even ask what you download.

Out of curiousity what are your line stats like for your location?

At my end of Newstead street the houses lines run a different route to the closest exchange. My sister lives at 30 something and her line runs another route to another exchange and as a result she gets 10-11mb compared to my 8mb with karoo.

My speedtest gets 7megs, but downloading I easily get 9-10meg. I wish I hadn't signed upto karoos bungles last month, happy with the service and the speed is ok, but now I'm tide into 18month contract. I would have liked to have tried your ISP.

Wouldn't have been worth it, considering the amount you download.
You would have been capped almost 100% of the time, to a speed lower then your current.
