How much does this woman earn for her to be able to afford these parking tickets. The scary part is that she has already paid back £12000!

Interesting - I wouldn't have believed it possible, but then I read that they charge 30p for ten minutes! That rumour about the Scotch and money seems to have some basis... :-)
I also noticed that: "The council last year collected £4 million in parking fines, resulting in £600,000 profit for the local authority." What on earth did they do with the other £3.4 million?!

I said it deliberately, I'm afraid, knowing their preferences (so it must have been the English bit of me!). PG Wodehouse referred to Scotchmen, but I expect that was on purpose, too.
Didn't know about the beer though - I'll have to be careful in future...
