Stay clear of bolton city

[THE LITTLE MUTT]

WARNING TO ALL WILD CAMPERS.
Don't go anywhere near Bolton City.
As visitors from Australia touring in a motor home we
were told of the 3 great markets on Sunday mornings in Bolton. Pulled up to the first one which was more like a shed full of broken junk.
Second was a big array of imported crap straight out of the container from some far away third world country.
All this by 7.30am. Next was the same as the second except when we came back to the van there was a parking ticket.
A local seen us fuming and said that the council send them out every Sunday morning to revenue raise.
I seen the ranger and explained that we only parked there because everyone else was and that we didn't know any better. He said bad luck and appeal it through the council.
Fired off a nice email as we were in Scotland by now.
Reply was bad luck and pay it. Not happy I sent an email to the Mayors office.
Guess what, after 2 weeks, no reply.
I can only guess that the head swine has his snout so far in the endless trough that he hasn't got time to reply to underling tourists who come to his city.
For all it's worth, the city is a disgrace of dirty sleazy neighborhoods, shocking roads, unhappy people (didn't see a smile on anyone's face).
The racial mix is a failure and all the while the snout is still in the full trough, happy in his own importance.
I am sure the locals would like to see a bit of it spent on them.
Glad to have got that off my chest.
An apology to all the nice people of Bolton whom we didn't meet.
You should hold your inept council to task for the shabby, filthy condition of your city.
Not sure if you will post it, but it had to be said.
Who goes around writing parking tickets at 8am on a Sunday morning in deserted back streets in industrial areas???

There are too many councils which run their parking more like rogue clampers. Does anyone remember the days of public servants?

So you've seen the picturesque so far then. Wait until you see the rough towns!!
Now you know why so many Brits would like to emigrate to Oz.

 

[Rubbertramp]

Is it a Parking charge notice or a penalty?

If it's a penalty you are legally obliged to pay it....
If it's a PCN (Parking Charge Notice), it has no legal backing so you can ignore it.
I'd be tempted to ingnore it anyway .....by the time they get around to chasing you, you 'd probably be back in Oz.

This is probably part of the reason why so many Brits want to go and live in Oz!!
This country is falling to pieces....
(Enter John H to tell us all how wonderful it REALLY is and you have got it ALL wrong!!)

I think it's only people who read the daily papers and listen to BBC news who really believe that.

Oh, you mean the ones that keep abreast of what is going on?

And you divined all this in an hour on Sunday morning. Corrupt officials, racial tensions,.....!!!!!!

Wow!!

Perhaps you could post a copy of your letter to the mayor so we can see what he didn't bother replying to.

So,what you are saying is, the BBC, the Newspapers and several hundred thousand who emmigrated have ALL got it wrong this year have they?
Yeah right!
The population of the UK will hit 70 million buy 2050, a large percentage of the increase is due to Immigration...
Opps sorry, that was on the BBC News this morning so obviously it is Bo!!ocks!!
Wakey Wakey!

 

[lotty]

and probably talking to the one's who complain about everything and the government and the local council but never vote!

You are by now probably banging your head against a wall, look at some of the posts...these d!ckheads have their heads in the sand. Believe me, you are better off in Oz, lets face it, how many Ozzies are crossing continents to live here? Not bloody many I can tell you!
I remember, not too many months ago, a boat full off refugees were heading towards Oz, they were soon turned around and sent back to where they came from, the type of people on here that tell us the BBC and newspapers are full of lies should wake up and realise what is going on.
Do your self a favour LITTLE MUTT, try another forum, motorhome365 is one I would recommend, now watch my post get taken off for recommending another forum.
And I thought we lived in a democracy not a communist state!
Let us know when you get back to Oz, you can tell them all what a mixed up set of tossers live right here in the UK.
(Now watch the replies I get!) They'll make you laugh, some very strange ideas on here!!

 

[Rubbertramp]

Yes I think they have got it all wrong.....because they believe the crap that they are being fed. Anyway, the more fools that emmigrate to Oz or elsewhere...the more room for the rest of us to enjoy our wonderful country.

This is only my ill-informed opinion....I travel all over the country, talk to many, many people of all races and beliefs both in cities and rural areas. But I do not read the national newspapers or watch TV news so what do I know?

 

[Byronic]

And you divined all this in an hour on Sunday morning. Corrupt officials, racial tensions,.....!!!!!!

Wow!!

Little Mutt went to 3 markets Sunday morning and makes comments about 2 of these based on observations by 7:30. I can't see any reference to how long he took observing the other matters he commented on??

Just watching that BBC news thingy..
Your right rubbertramp
They just said that Bill Gates is a very rich, successfull business man...what utter sh!t!
Now, they are talking to David Beckham, they are trying to tell me that he is one of the worlds greatest footballers, tossers, we all know he sells cheese from a market stall in Swindon.
Listen to this, HA-Ha-Ha, our local news is trying to tell me that energy prices are going to rise....HA-HA-Ha, I have never heard such rubbish, lies I tell you...LIES!!

ker-ist here we go again.someone has a bad experience in a grubby part of the city[they all have them,not in oz i suppose]and condemns the whole place. and the same old same old arguments kick off.when stuff like this happens to me i don't burst into tears, sort it or get over it and get on with it
