Default Do these people have no morals

These very rich people had parked their Koenigsegg CCXR one of only 6 ever made at £1.2m ( top gear version?) and Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce outside Harrods as you do to pop in to get your daily provissions when some stupid moronic traffic warden decided to get them clamped.
These rich people were providing the poor ordinary common people the chance to see cars of beauty. In my opinion doing a public service and look how they were treated.

What is this country coming to.

I dunno, if it is double yellowed lines out there, then if it was white van man, it would be hoorah!! lol, just think, I am sure it won't break the bank getting them unclamped, and if the guys damage the cars, sue them into oblivion!!

What a superb wheeze!! Park your supercar, get out and attach a large yellow clamp. At one stroke you have avoided the car getting nicked, and fooled the parking wardens into thinking that you already have a ticket!!

Since standard clamps don't stretch to those tyre sizes, and the clamps aren't marked with the clamper's number, seems to me that the driver's are clever, as well as rich!! Or maybe, they are just dummy clamps... or maybe just photoshopped...

You're right, do people have no morals these days!!!

No this is not a joke. Its for real as reported by the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-10810772

The council said £120 penalty charge notices were issued, but the cars were released for £70 each as the fines were paid within 14 days.
They must be normal size wheel clamps for the richer people,s cars

I suspect they have larger sized clamps for 4x4s and the like anyway.

As stated, end of the day they were parked in the wrong place. If I parked my car there, I'd have got clamped, so why should they be any different? The people with no morals here are the super rich who consider the rules don't apply to them like they do to us.
