Bad day for an Audi driver

Parked on the double yellow lines outside my house there is a very posh looking Audi TT cabriolet.

- It's just been given a ticket by a traffic warden.
- It's been left with it's roof down, and it's pissing with rain at the moment.

Ooops!

Frankly, anyone who double parks and - in England - also leaves the top down on their car is just, um, stupid?

You can still say piss here, McKay - one of the few possible swear words still left for us . . .

So is a little bit of context creeping into the filter? I mean those two phrases have different meanings and only one has ever been considered (and only ever mildly) 'profane'.

Anyway, the car disappeared. I wasn't around to see the driver come back and collect it. But the traffic wardens are still hanging around as they've done the entire side of one of the streets just up the hill from me - you're allowed to park there overnight but have to move the car by 9am - and they've done about 30 cars this morning.

Well, kinda. But you really have to think about it. I mean, I could say somewhere that the sort of thing that would really pïss off a person would be having a stupid car double parked in front of their house - and that would be blocked.
