Here in New Zealand we get almost all TV programs late, so please excuse me if you have seen this Top Gear episode ages ago: Last night the presenter said that in London you get a ticket for improper parking. That is if you are parked over the line or at a slight angle to the line. The problem was he got a ticket, but the box was too small for his car to fit in! Another interesting one is that at a city center parking building you pay 20 pounds for the first hour, and 40 pounds for 1 hour and 5 minutes (i.e. for the second hour). So ghe parked illegally in the road, went to the movies and shops for 5 hours with his family, and the parking ticket was only 48 pounds (or something like that). Sometimes crime pays!
