You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

I've never been arrested.

Yet.

I don't believe in homeopathy but it works for some people so it's not for me to condemn it.

Believe me - there's nothing in it.

No. Is the answer too complicated for you to explain briefly? If so, I'm happy to leave it there.

Would you like to start another thread on the function and viable alternatives to the bailiff industry in the UK ?

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

When one comes across someone like the OP it makes one wonder if you are on the right forum.

When one encounters such people, it may also make one wonder which village is missing its idiot.

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

So what's the alternative?

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

I feel similar about bouncers, it doesn't mean I think all of them are morons and they is no they should exist or I'll start fighting them if they try to throw me out of somewhere for getting too drunk. Similarly that guy has a baliff on his doorstep because he's gotten fines he's refusing to pay.

Then we must agree to differ, wheres I agree that they are not all "morons", they are IMO an anachronism and do not have any place in a modern day society

I feel similar about bouncers, it doesn't mean I think all of them are morons and their job has no reason to exist or I'll start fighting them if they try to throw me out of somewhere for getting too drunk. Similarly that guy has a baliff on his doorstep because he's gotten fines he's refusing to pay. I've never had baliffs on my doorstep because I try not to get parking fines and when I have, as on a couple of occasions in the past (from the council) I've quickly paid up. And I've never been arrested.

I meant his behaviour was reasonable, FFS.

I know what you meant

I have no wish to look at his other videos, I have nothing against the chap. If you want to start a thread entitled, "lets all slag off the You tube bloke" I dare say some may contribute, but not me.

As for bailiffs, no one makes them chose their profession, they do that themselves, to me that tells me all I need to know about how "reasonable" they are.

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Well, naturally I'm going to listen to what real lawyer or at least a law graduate says over someone like him (who I would bet my bottom dollar is neither) But it didn't mean I expected everyone here to be, I just hoped some might be.

It's all about interpretation. To me a pikey is not a traveller but someone with particular characteristics. It would be a dull world if we all spoke with the same accent , if we were all posh or we couldn't argue about the pronunciation of scone.

To me an oatcake is one of those things you get in Staffordshire like a pancake, not the hard biscuit type thing you buy in the supermarkets. Having lived in the areas I have , the accent of the guy on youtube was broad but quite understandable . I think he ideas a bit off the wall but if they work for him that's fine.

Go, I think that something that may have antagonised people was your insistence qualifications were quoted . Being qualified does not make you automatically any more or less right . In fact in medicine it is accepted by good doctors that people with long term conditions may well know more about that condition than one of the professionals.

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

Try looking at his other videos. And I'm sure plenty of baliffs have been horrible in the past, but that particular one in that video seemed quite reasonable and was just doing his job and wasn't really a t**t. The bit where 61shirley says "Have you proven who I am yet?" (just watch the video) is where he starts being a bit of an idiot (61shirley not the baliff)

Re: You can't ignore parking fines, can you?

To be fair the OP was on a looser trying to discredit "You tube bloke" anyway.

He was giving a bailiff a hard time, anyone who does that for whatever reason gets the thumbs up from most of us on here.
