I'm sure traffic wardens say the same thing

I actually spoke to one traffic warden who, after giving me a ticket, told me that "we work to provide a necessary and valuable service to the public."

Ironic, since I was on hospital business at the time, and parked in the hospital car park (which is run by a private car park firm, sadly).

A traffic warden?! I've never been so mortally offended in my entire life.

I sometimes get calls from suspicious looking 0800 numbers, and when I google the number up, some results will get blocked because it is apparently regarded as "internet telephony". Never got my head around that one. Our work's firewall is generally pretty reasonable though. You can go on BBC News and Wikipedia etc.
