mother who saved suicidal woman from leaping off bridge is slapped with £60 parking fine
I saw a moonbat story in the papers today and immediately thought, I have to post. So I booted earlier then usual only to find my hunt for the story a wild goose chase as it isn’t on line so far. However, I found something even more moonbatty that wasn’t in the papers. Maybe what I did find on line will be there tomorrow. Anyway ... take a look at this. Talk about unreasonable. Can’t people make allowances for extenuating circumstances? Guess not.
We found that out 6 yrs ago trying to talk to American immigration. Extenuating circumstances be damned seems to be a world attitude among bureaucrats.
Mother who saved suicidal woman from leaping off bridge is slapped with £60 parking fine (and loses her appeal)
By Daily Mail Reporter
A mother-of-two who saved a suicidal woman from jumping off a bridge was hit with a parking fine of £60 after she was late returning to her car.
Cathryn James was out shopping in Swansea when she rushed to help a woman who was threatening to jump into the river.
Mrs James narrowly avoided being pulled into the water herself as she talked to the woman, keeping her safe until the authorities took over.
When she returned to her car she found she had been issued with a ticket for overstaying the three hour waiting limit by 22 minutes.
Mrs James appealed against the fine, even supplying a letter from police praising her courage, but she was told she still had to pay.
The 36-year-old told The Sun: ‘If she had gone she would have pulled me with her. The last thing on my mind was my pay-and-display ticket.’
Excel Parking had refused her appeal, claiming there were ‘insufficient reasons’ to waive the fine, following the drama on September 21.
Mrs James said: ‘I’d like to know what you have to do to prove you had a good reason to be delayed.’
But since the story featured in the press, the company has now backed down and agreed to drop the fine.
A spokesman said: ‘In light of the evidence of Ms James’ bravery… we are more than happy to cancel the ticket on this occasion.’
Sure, once the story gets public attention and they’re embarrassed by their own dogged stubbornness and mean spirit, they cave in.
Typical.
Anyway, good for her.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
