Day 236, POLITE THINK!!

There's a new branch of Orwellian language.  Forked from the original 1940s version.

POLITE THINK!!

Yes, clearly it is designed to be misinterpreted.  The checked pattern at the top, and the word POLITE in huge capitals are meant to put people in mind of, and be directly mistaken for POLICE.

So schools have taken to putting their own grammatically dubious signs in the street - assuming it is the school - how many exclamation marks do you need, usually one is too many.

Much more appealing, to me at least, is that the law is enforced in some low cost and not at all over the top way.

There are double yellow lines clearly visible, and that means that parking on them could result in you being towed away.

Monitoring of the street should take place at all times, cameras mounted with laser cannon could be used to deploy heat-light destruction for any infringement greater than 5 seconds.  Graffiti artists could be employed to spray paint any vehicle that stops in the controlled zone, images or words could be painted, 'cock piss partridge' for example.  A gang of urchins could be taken under the wing of a local Fagan type character who will arm them with spikes to puncture the two offside tyres of any car which stops in the zone.

These are all reasonable suggestions.  But perhaps all it needs is a collection of Traffic Wardens repeatedly patrolling the street from one end to the other until it becomes a no-go area for selfish arses.
