Meter vs. Maid

One of those moments where I would have wished for a significantly quicker camera than the one which is built into my HTC Hero mobile phone.  The rather dreary shot reproduced here is the tail-end of an assault on a parking meter by one of our fair city’s own Guardians of Justice and Parking (yeah, a traffic warden). 

Caught almost in the act...
From my observation of their operation the meter tending folks have to obtain a ticket from each meter at the start of each day to prove the meter is working and the time on the clock is correct.  The parking attendant in the photo here obviously experienced the same frustrations that many motorists in the city do when the meters don’t work exactly as you’d hope they would and he just did what the rest of us want to do.  He slapped the merry crap out of it.
