Wardens' unregistered summonses

I really do not understand people belly aching about the latest twist of traffic wardens' summonses being delivered by ordinary post.

One must understand that the traffic warden system is operated by a private company and, like every other private company everywhere, the compelling motive must be lucre, that of maximising profits.

Why should the operating company incur unnecessary costs on registered post when they can get away with ordinary post?

If the great unwashed have not realised this basic fact and naively believed that the warden system was meant to teach us to park properly, where no parking is provided for the thousands of cars which the government is responsible for allowing to be imported, then they really have no grounds to complain. After all we have repeatedly endorsed them by our votes to give us more of the same.

Profits are enhanced by painting more yellow lines; the less parking available the higher the number of mugs who fall foul and have to cough up by paying more fines. This, of course, helps in no small way the cash-starved local councils, which are finding themselves increasingly dependent on wardens' fines - ask the Pietà council.

Now that we can boast of Transend, the Kiwi company, running our postal services, a few more incorrectly delivered summonses will augment the sought after profits of a private company and the councils' revenue, while also relieving these so-called tribunals from having to cope with the load of ever increasing cases.

So, all in all, the ordinary unregistered summonses are a good thing all round, except for the wretched victim of this obnoxious system.
