Stay clear of bolton city

[bigpieeater]

I live near Bolton and, currently, Bolton town centre is going through a "make-over". Unfortunately, the neighbouring town of Bury has just completed it's make-over and, consequently, everyone is taking their money to the new shops and resources in Bury town. Lots of businesses have left Bolton in favour of Bury. Can't really blame them for that.
So, it looks like all Bolton traffic wardens (or whatever they are called now) are raising the necessary funds to enable the plan to go ahead in Bolton.
As the originator of this thread suggests, leave Bolton well alone for the time being. I can also confirm that he is right about the roads (please make your complaint known to Bolton County Council - (they may have a little money left after giving most of it to the immigrants to start up all the curry shops and mobile phone shops.)
I digress.........

In short, try the outskirts of Bury.:blah:

Look out Hippo, people on here don't believe that we have immigrants opening curry shops and mobile phone shops...if you listen carefully, you will here the tap-tap of fingers on the keyboards of surburbia...

That's what's done it! You've been banging your head on the wall too much!

Yeah, right....whatever.
And your point is what exactly?

my brother took us to bolton market and when i parked the camper he said get a ticket as the wardens cover up the signs and hide and put tickets on cars . we sat in van and watch them do it BE WARE

This lot won't believe you, you could announce it on the BBC, write it in the newspapers and will still tell you that this problem doesn't exist.

So, how's the NHS going to get paid for? State schooling?

I know... let's privatise them all. Then we could have colostomies brought to you by MacDonald's and geography taught to you by NewsCorp.

You may as well,our poor NHS is creaking at the seems along with most other public services,the ever increasing population ,migrant or otherwise,means we as tax payers have to throw more and more money at our NHS e.t.c.
At a time when we are heading for yet another recession our goverment should be doing the same thing as us tax payers in saving money and being frugal,the goverment really needs to be putting a stop to the scroungers who are costing us a silly amount of money.But then again if i can avoid paying my taxes i wont really care will i,it wont matter to much to me at all,it will be instead( hopefully) if your working ,your problem,but then again you may not feel there is a problem.

I can assure you the problem is there and i realised recently that it is worse than you could possibly imagine.
It really is indemic. If people think the problem isnt as bad as has been sugested then they need to wake up,it absolutely is.

I simply do not believe this story. What did the wardens cover the signs with? Most parking restriction signs are on poles eight feet up! So did they bring ladders and put bags over the top of the signs? And what about the ones riveted to lamp post and to walls?

And if it's true, why didn't you photograph them covering up these signs as they're committing a criminal offence? Everyone has a camera these days on their phones!

And for all the unthinking conspiracy theory numpties who'll believe this nonsense, just think about this - if Bolton Council is encouraging its wardens to act illegally, each and every warden will have them over a barrel. They can never be sacked, whatever they do, because they'll simply threaten to report the council to the police. Just imagine what the papers would do with this story!

And before anyone asks, I live in Bolton and park there regularly and neither I or any of my friends have ever come across wardens behaving illegally. They can be strict and ticket you for being five minutes late but that's legal!

What a fantastic response, well said.
I too, won't give a dam, I'll be long gone too, then listen to them all moaning on when it really does become their problem, now, where is my map of France! HA-HA-HA-HA!!

Yet another none believer!!
How do you get through life you lot?
You dont believe anything on TV, you don't believe the newspapers and now you don't believe your fellow motorhomers. Is there any wonder this country is finished?
Being run by Brussels, playing lap dog to Obama and laying out the 'welcome' mat to anyone who would like to enter is not my idea of a tiny island should conduct its self.
But then, you don't believe any of it do you?
Obviously I don't know anything about you, but, you are either having a laugh (and doing a good job) or are completley deranged!

I think we have the makings of the COMMON SENSE party here, just do reply on this lot voting!!

Hope you got yourself a good private healthcare plan, BPE. Keep eating them big pies, hitting your head against a wall and sending your blood pressure racing like that and your gonna need some urgent medical treatment pretty soon.

Do you know why no one will ever engage with you or take you seriously? It's because you brook no disagreement. Anyone who challenges your point of view isn't just someone who holds a different opinion which they're entitled to hold. No... they're wrong, end of story. Because only you can be right. Not only are they wrong, but because of it they're worthy of little except insult and abuse. Kind of sounds like fundamentalism, really. Not often a force for good in a world where truth is relative and 'facts' are often not what they might seem - depending on how far a person chooses to look beyond their own beliefs and prejudices.

Meanwhile... I'd better get my head back into today's Telegraph, Indy, Guardian and Times, and rip open the latest Spectator, Prospect and Week to see what's going on in the world.

Waste of time, really, I suppose - it'll all be in the tabloids (those doyens of objective reportage) and on next week's Panorama...

Are you called MartianTom because you actually live on Mars?
You have no idea do you?
I would like to bet you have never run a business and therefore never had to deal with as much red tape as me, therefore never had to bang your head like me.
Maybe in the next life eh?
In the meantime, keep smiling at the rest of the world, they will simply smile back!

No, I'm not a non-believer, just an intelligent person who looks at the evidence and weighs it up! You on the other hand are told a ludicrous story about traffic wardens hiding the parking signs and then, when people have parked, jumping out and booking them! Read why I claim that this is nonsense! How did they hide the signs? Do you not know where parking signs are fixed and displayed?

The only thing worse than non-believers are the conspiracy nuts who'll believe every piece of idiocy that they read because they haven't the intellect to look at it calmly and rationally, mainly because they're the kind of paranoid person who wakes up every morning convinced that the entire world is out to screw them!

How you get through life is the thing that puzzles me. This country isn't perfect and none are. Have you been to France or Germany or Italy. Now Greece, that's a great place with real future! Comments such as 'This country's finished' just sum you up. How is it finished? My life and my business are just fine, if I get ill I've got the NHS which, despite odd problems is still very good, I can travel hundreds of miles on motorways without paying a king's ransom in tolls but what is even more important is that I live in a country where the people are protected from and separated from the government by an independent judiciary. I don't worry about the knock on the door in the early hours of the morning and being carted off by the secret police or being tried without a jury.

Is everything in your life as black as you paint it? God, it must be a miserable and depressing existence!

Actually, I think that he may have been taking the mick out of you but you can't work it out. Then again I remember that you also had a problem with working out what a pancake thrower was! Please, no more claims of intellectual superiority from you!

Of course you don't. Now go and lie down in a darkened room and try to think of something nice. I know that will be hard, but surely, there must be something that you're not wound up about?

i know this is beside the point but i forgot the point again

 

[n brown]

incidentally for those of you who can spare a glance away from the bloody telly and the newspapers,the outside world is looking particularly lovely at the moment,all the colours changing on the trees,kids running and kicking up the fallen leaves[i know they're only practising kicking oap s in the head,but still a charming sight]
