TRAFFIC wardens are giving a baker free city centre parking - because he provides them with bacon rolls from his shop.
The Edinburgh attendants - known as the Traffic Taliban - enjoy a breakfast of bacon and sausage rolls with tea and coffee at the family-run Preacher's Patisserie every morning.
And every day, they turn a blind eye to the boss's illegally parked Renault Clio - even though it is across the road from the fines appeals office.
1 - I'm hardly surprised, it doesn't take a genius to notice that there are a significant number of city centre businesses proprietors who appear to be able to park right outside their own premises and never face any consequences.
2 - Never heard the phrase "traffic Taliban".
3 - Some small business owners need to wise up. If they park their own vehicles outside their premises, where are the customers (who apparently all arrive on 4 wheels and I don't mean the bus) meant to park?
4 - Getting the bus is easily preferable and more reliable to trying to drive into the city. No sympathy with anyone who thinks its some sort of punishment.
5 - Perhaps you are repeatedly getting ticketed because you consistently park out with regulations, not because you are being picked on.
6 - Chance would be a fine thing to have such good attention from wardens in any other street.
7 - If true, it's a gross misconduct issue and there consequences should be faced.
