Dear Car Park Attendant,
I felt I should write and thank you for the invaluable help you gave me the other day. Without it I would have struggled to find that parking place between the Nissan Micra and the Vauxhall Viva; although I would have been quite happy in one of the other 53 empty spaces that were a lot closer to the shops. The trouble you took in keeping me waiting and the skill you showed causing a snarl up in the practically empty car park was very impressive. People who complain that the service industries are not run efficiently obviously haven’t met you in your smart uniform and hat and the very attractive small moustache that reminded me of someone.
I do apologise that my car wasn’t parked exactly parallel to the white lines and we certainly avoided backing into the car behind didn’t we? By about 3 feet.
Have you ever considered a career in the prison service? I have a strong suspicion that it could suit you down to ground as it is very important to be able to issue loud and clear commands at the same time as waving your hands around in a manner that suggests a keep fit regime.
I’ve enclosed a brochure about opportunities at Broadmoor – I think you’d fit in very well.
Yours sincerely
Daddy Papersurfer

where were you, having to have directional parking? Is that a Sourbern thing?… we tend to park ourselves oop ‘ere.
I suppose having a fluorescent clad man directing you stops the micro micra parking badly in a large car spaces
btw how do you know they wave their hands around in Broadmoor?? Just askin’?
To be quite honest I was thinking of some bod out in Portugal. It’s quite common out there. It’s like the screen washers at traffic lights here, they’re hoping for some money ……. and I’m not answering the question about Broadmoor, they made me promise not to talk about it – tee hee
love the groovy gif
There are loads in Photobucket ……. all legal to STEAL!
Great animation
And my favourite letter for the week. Do you write letters freelance? I’m thinking of outsourcing the customer services department…
I can complain about almost anything ……..
Aha – one of the Jobworth’s on my blog has obviously moved ‘down south’ and long may he remain there – good luck in your quest to teach him a lesson!
Jobworth’s are a pain ….. and they come in so many forms ……. I used to try and keep in with the janitor at school [now renamed site managers I believe] ……
You just leave the Jobsworths alone! Without them we would have a society which worked smoothly. Then where would we be, eh?
A good point! – there would be very little to complain about …… what a ghastly thought ……
Gosh! I just park my car wherever I darn well please over here in Amerika…
Well young Olga, the point is that America is VERY large and Gt. Britain is tiny – I wonder how many GB’s you could park in Americy? – loads I bet ……
Oooooh….I never thought of that….I’m just gonna have to come OVER there & check it out your parking situation more thoroughly, arn’t I!??
Do you want to come over for another visit then? You’re always very welcome – you might be in time to help landscape the garden ……..
