A baffled motorist was left fuming after returning to her parked car to find double yellow lines painted either side of it - and a parking ticket slapped on the windscreen. Bungling parking officials fined June Williams yesterday despite road markings only being painted round her vehicle after she had parked.

It might if the traffic court "judges" there are as stupid/corrupt as the ones here. If so...she's fucked. Multiply the fine by at least 15 for what it will eventually end up costing her.

I'm glad to see that there are other places, outside of redneck central (here), that common sense has been abandoned.

With a bit of imagination, I should think that we could come up with a useful application for that term.'I'm absolutely gobsmacked

A sufficiently copious dose of bombast drenched in verbose writing is lethal to the truth.
