This guy will be rushing back to spend more time with us. By anyone's standards this is quite a brace of parking tickets..whatsit..something like £320 squids worth or something proudly displayed on the window there. Scaring off all the other visitors down on the seafront. Nothing like a bit of tourism goodwill to increase our ailing tourist coffers!!

Easy pickings for the parking attendants, one less they have to look for to get their daily quota

I've never understood why illegally parked cars get more than one ticket - seems pointless, other than to raise extra revenue.
How long has the car been there Paul ?

I would guess about 5 or so days Roger. Didnt notice it until all the tickets started arriving on its windshield. Ive just checked now this minute and yes the car is still there, but a ticket or two seems to have blown away on the prevailing wind.
Either its a stolen car or someone has gone off to the continent for several days, perhaps in an effort to escape Cleggmania and/or all things political. I should imagine one ticket would be enough in these circumstances because if they keep going on this way, pretty soon the value of the tickets will be more than the value of the car.

Certainly more than the car-park at the docks, or Relyon's great service in Coombe Valley and their's is only (last time I heard), £3 per day.

On a H Plate I guess the car is worth a lot less than the parking decorations it is showered with

My money's on it being dumped. The driver will have driven it to Dover and walked to the ferry terminal and gone over as a foot passenger. As Terrismark says, the parking tickets will be worth more than the car.
True friends stab you in the front.

Strange world, today it`s dumped, unwanted and will probably be scrapped. Tomorrow, it`ll be sort after by an avid car enthusiast, restored to it`s original condition, and sold for much more than it`s worth at the moment.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

I hope you're not talking about my Porsche Colin. It's just taking a bit longer to get sorted, and I've been away don't forget.

The saga of the ticket laden car goes on. This picture shown below taken just a half an hour ago. But this ticket warden did not give the car another ticket..so gadzooks and gumdrops!! the penny has dropped!! when you bear in mind that at least two of the tickets have blown away, watched with my own eyes, I think its time they caught on that the vehicle may be abandoned. The warden here did call someone on her phone immediately after leaving the car. Two things leap to mind...she may have been reporting it to a higher authority or on the other hand she may have been ordering a kebab dinner!

Maybe this could become a new tourist attraction, the most ticketed car in the U.K?

Surely the owner of this vehicle could have been traced by now, all the details for vehicle owners are on a huge red government computer, probably in a basement in Swansea?
Leads to the question, "are any of our Traffic Management Gestapo capable of using a brain cell?" Or is that perhaps they have no intelligence, and are only capable of writing some numbers on a piece of paper and sticking not where all of us would prefer they do?
And to make matters worse, we are paying for this "non service!"

Well, done their job for them, well some of it anyway.
According to the DVLA, "VEHICLE ENQUIRY Services Provided By DVLA: Vehicle details could not be found"
So, this may indicate false plates on a stolen car. Maybe DDC Parking Services should get the Police involved rather than just keep putting tickets on the damn thing?
