Wardens' insensitivity

The funeral of 42-year-old Jackie Mallia (Mizzi) was held recently at St Gregory's parish church in Sliema and hundreds of people attended.

I was one of the many who did and after driving around Sliema for more than 45 minutes (from 8 to 8.45 a.m.) for a parking place. As the service was due to begin at 8.45 a.m., I parked my car in Dun Karm Psaila Street, admittedly on the pavement (with several others). This part of the road is quite wide and I was not causing any obstruction. But on returning to my car I found a warden's parking ticket (issued by warden ID 260).

I am sure all the wardens knew there was a funeral service in the vicinity. Could they not have been a bit human for once and close an eye until the service was over? I still have to come across a single person who has one good word to say about these wardens.
