At first I thought hmmm somebody has been pretty handy with Photoshop then maybe its April fools day but dear god how stupid are some people. Some copmanies must shake the trees see hat falls out and then employ them. The guy who owns the Merc must have been in shock. Check out the link and just follow the pictures and thread. http://www.t595.net/messageboard/thread/Cant-believe-what-I-saw-today/66976.aspx

Tying up traffic for who knows how long . . . ultimately the car is left in place . . . all that to clear up the parking problem in London. I don’t think it is just the employees that are idiots in this case!

TFL all over....Hate London on a good day though.
I can't get over the fact they were watching it to be 10mins over the meter time. OK so maybe I can...

Hard to say, I know I have a frind of mine here that dropped a Cadi off his flatbed and charged the guy to reload it a 2nd time. The Cadi guy took him to court and lost.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Do you need a dictionary definition of here? Does it say England under my ID? Did I make any kind of statement as to what they would do in England? Did I claim any knowlege of the laws in England? Or did I relay an anecdote of a similar situation I know of where I live that was on topic?

Similar situation, yes, but I was just thinking to myself, "What does the law in PA have to do with the law in England, where the incident that started this thread happened." I think it's a valid question. But I can see you're extra grouchy today.

National crane makes similar units but not primarily for cars but can be adapted for any use. I repair and inspect stuff like that. mike

There is a similar unit but not exactly the same made by Jerrdan for city use in a situation like that.

It must just be me but am the only one that thinks if that was my Merc, at least one of those guys would be finishing their shift waking up with a crowd round them in A+E (ER)

Kinda reminds me of some pictures I saw of a guy from this forum, using a back hoe to lower his bike into his basement.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
