Oops, bit of a foul-up here on my part. Accidentally sent the posting below only to Bruce instead of the list. He replied with an email to me, which I assumed was a post, and I replied to that ON the list. So, if there is anyone left reading this thread, you have seen an apparently orphaned post. Now that that's cleared up ... :-)

(And for Beeky's continued entertainment :-) The traffic warden has far more opportunity to generate parking fines, because: - the warden will be patroling far more parking spaces than there would be moorings in a honeypot location - moorings would be on a 24 hour basis, parking on perhaps 1-2 hour basis, so for parking there are many more opportunities to generate fines on the same parking space during any given 24 hour period - with parking, people often misjudge their time needs (and sometimes gamble they won't be caught), providing more opportunities for violations. These factors mean it is far more likely for a traffic warden to generate significant fines than a mooring warden could at a honeypot site. Back to you! ------- End of forwarded message -------
