Or the fact that Midleton (quite a large district) proudly announced in 2000 that they had taken on & had trained their very own traffic warden! (Also responsible as Litter Warden & Illegal Trading watchperson) Because 'visitors' were parking in the high street all day long & not leaving room for the locals!
Apparently, she's still there & doing such a grand job, they have no need for a 2nd person to join her - nor have they any plans to make her full-time.....
Here in Blackpool, we not only have traffic wardens, we have a whole company set up, with 58 employees!!
Add to all this that the people on the telephone keep saying things like 'now to be sure.... and bejaysus...' and I am on the floor!
But, on the whole, I think we're going to love it out there.... But I will stand at border control & deny all knowledge of knowing you, Johno - else I might get barred! [lol]
