Meter Defeater.
They’re a ballsy lot in Lewes down in deepest Suffolk, where urban terrorism is alive and well, and parking meters are an endangered species.
The locals don’t like them a bit, so they’re blowing them up, and with over 200 attacks, a large repair bill and 35 out of 96 of the meters completely destroyed, the council are worried.
The officials are offering a £5,000 reward to catch the insurgents.
Interestingly, the townsfolk burn an effigy of the Pope every year on bonfire night, but apparently that’s not a serious issue like the parking meters, and no bounty is offered for the capture of the wee man clutching the box of matches.
