I was off work yesterday and went into town for a while. I was walking down one street and saw not one but two traffic wardens standing in front of a car. Both were busy writing.

I'm sure there's a sensible explanation for it. Perhaps one of them was been assessed or something like that. But I'm sure you can imagine how it looked. :confused:

You've never seen 2 police officers patrolling together either then?

Is there a point to this comment?

Yes just seems a bit weird starting a thread because you saw two traffic wardens together. I've seen all kinds of people in a multitude of jobs working together but would not think it worthy of a thread on. My milkman often has someone with him if thats of any interest?

Sorry I suppose this thread should really be in the bear garden because I saw something which was unusual to me and thought it worthy of a light hearted comment. Surely thats not against the forum rules.

Yes I have but I can't remember the last time I saw two traffic wardens patrolling together.

 

It was meant to be a light hearted thread. I promise I won't do it again ;-)

Sorry wasnt being critical its just common around here to see them together especially on Red Routes probably some health and safety thing.

Well it could be something new like that alright. We have had the new breed of traffic warden for several months now here in Northern Ireland and it's the first time I saw two together.

But then again. Just about a week previous, a man was attacked in broad daylight (not a Traffic Warden) by two foreign nationals carrying hammers. That may have something to do with it

In some parts of Belfast (Falls Road area), NCP staff dealing with the removal of untaxed vehicles are escorted by security staff who are all former Gurkhas, because of threats from some members of the community (out on early release, possibly). No-one has yet attempted to engage the Gurkhas, apparently.

Even Micheal Stone wouldn't be mad enough to tackle them lol - or would he?. I don't think Enniskillen is just that bad yet. But then again, all large towns are getting worse.

Michael Stone would probably have a go if someone told him Gurkhas were fond of the pope - all in the name of art, of course!

 

In light of recent news, I imagine that NCP won't be ticketing any diesel tankers around Newry for a while...
