En Passant 2,950 Posted February 24, 2016 King Ethelbert died this day 1400 years ago. His introduction of a complex system of fines can be seen as the genesis of the traffic warden. "Ah nah mate, come on now, the horse was only there for 5 minutes whilst I popped into the apothecaries for a quart of leeches..." "Rules is rules and you have blocked the passage of the London to York Express" "FFS you officious git, the double yellow line isn't even visible under all that horseshit!" "There isn't a double yellow line sir, they haven't been invented yet. There is however a clear sign on that wall, 'No four footed transportation to be left unattended between the hours of 07:00 and 10:00 Mon-Fri'" "Bollocks" "The fine is reduced to 10 groats and a chicken if you pay before the 10th of next month, however failure to pay within the alloted time and it's 2 days in the stocks for you." Yeah, I was momentarily at a loose end. Sue me. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
