Cash reward
Someone doubted the veracity of Westminster Council’s parking meter losses last week. You really should know better.
‘Around 1980 the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea discovered that cash was being stolen from its parking meters to the tune of several thousand pounds per week,’ says Tony Spence.
‘At the time it was one of the few London boroughs actually making a profit from parking meters, and Westminster made a resounding loss. I am surprised that the amount allegedly stolen from Westminster’s parking meters is as little as £50,000 per week,’ he adds.
Perhaps someone could write in and tell us how to do it. We are not considering it, and we are certainly not encouraging you do it, but it is handy to know, in case of civil strife, for example.
