Calling all traffic wardens

I was eating dinner this evening and a guy jumped from his seat ran outside to find that his car was being issued with a parking ticket. The wardens (there was 2 of them) had already placed a ticket on his car and were walking away. However, the guy approached them, said a few words, and before you could say "bloody traffic wardens" they had removed the ticket, ripped it up and gone about their day.
So London traffic wardens, it's OK to be a NICE person now and then. Take this as a lesson to you all.
