the parking fines things makes me think of one success storey: the clampers .
Aren't they the best thing that ever happened to the city? As a child i remember for a few years my only purpose was to be left alone in a sweltering car , looking sad so that when we had to park, we would not get fined. We park you know anywhere , kerbs, corner kerbs , bus stops , etc etc.
I am still amazed that every time i choose to drive to the city i can find a space where i want to go , and relatively quickly. And those w****kers who would 'look after' your car - gone .
Long may it last!
