Plans to charge motorists to park in the evening and at weekends are set to spread across central London.

Camden council is poised to follow Westminster and impose night-time and Sunday charges to park on single yellow lines, the Standard can reveal.

Edit: 3pm, and as was pointed out by another reader "and is considering whether to follow Westminster and introduce motorbike parking fees"

Next they will be 'considering powers' to charge you for parking on your own drive.

 :idea: How about a charge for parking when you stop in traffic - simple pay by phone. Then they can also send you a ticket for using your phone whilst driving.

 :idea: How about installing turnstiles at the Borough Boudaries and charging for walking on the pavement?

I have heard that the Wardens that follow smokers around waiting for them to drop a cigarette butt, are to be issued with portable devices for detecting silent farts so they can fine you under the Clean Air Act.  :o 
I don't know if they are going to be given stop and search powers to help in looking for Skiddies for evidential purposes. <_>

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up,  totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a  ride!!"

Someone received a fine for putting a fag butt down a drain. It was for littering a watercourse! This is not a joke it is genuine.

See page 7 here:

http://www.litteraction.org.uk/uploads/groups/234/Litter-refuse-GuidanceDEFRA-.pdf

1.12 Subsection (4C) states that the
terms ‘lake or pond’, ‘watercourse’
and ‘public sewer’ have the same
meanings as in section 104 of the Water
Resources Act 1991. Section 104 needs
to be read together with section 221
(General Interpretation) of the same
Act. Accordingly:
‘lake or pond’ includes a reservoir of
any description. (s.104)
‘watercourse’ includes all rivers, streams,
ditches, drains, cuts, culverts, dykes,
sluices, sewers and passages through
which water flows, except mains and
other pipes which –
(a) belong to the Environment Agency
