Is anyone on mylot a traffic warden?

Where I live they are not called Traffic Wardens, but Ambassadors. As they work for the local Council I have concluded that the Council's aims and objectives are to screw as much money out of as many people, especially tourists, as it is inhumanly possible to do. This is achieved without managing a civil word and by snooping on you by means of CCTV, hiding round corners and walkie talkie orchestrated witch hunts. When I was reprimanded one quiet Sunday, I pointed out to the Ambassador concerned that I would have bren much more enamored of him if he had started the discusson with "Good Morning". He said that funny talk like that wouldn't help my situation at all. So it is official, despite the title, diplomacy skills are not rife amongst Salisbury's Ambassadors. If there are any amongst the myLot fraternity; "Good Evening".

Ha! Hitler with a parking ticket! You know, darlin, most of us here in the good ole us of a don't call them traffic wardens - we call them meter maids. And they are just as popular here as your traffic wardens are in England, believe me. There is, in fact, a tv show now solely about them and their daily ticketing, booting and unending arguments with their victims. Truly. It's shot in Philadelphia, PA, and is called Parking Wars. You might just want to check it out on Youtube - I'm sure there must be something there. You might just get a chuckle out of it.
