You know why they have a yellow strip on there hats?
It stops people parking on their heads.

A Westminster Council spokesman said that while the parking attendants were correct in issuing the tickets, these were extraordinary circumstances and the fines would be waived.

If it had been on a week day they would have probably been towed marine ambulance or not.

Re: Whale rescuers £300 parking fine
They were correctly given tickets, anyone can put a sign in their car, it means nothing.

The cars did have 'marine ambulance' or 'marine medic' on the side though:

Still, I agree, the tickets were correctly given, and correctly waived once it became clear the offenders had actually been involved in the rescue attempt.

Re: Whale rescuers £300 parking fine
Traffic wardens love to stick tickets on cars, in my town centre they put a ticket on a car displaying a disabled badge for parking with one wheel just over the line, because the car in the next bay had parked badly (that car didn't get a ticket!!!)

Back on topic please. Off-topic posts are subject to deletion.
Discussing what an eskimos favourite song is - has nothing whatsoever to do with the Rescuers receiving parking tickets.
