A guy in Liverpool has won over the traffic warden with a bagful of charm… and crisps.
Neil McKeown was out on the town for a night with friends and once he started to drink he decided to leave the car in town, a scenario that the majority of us can all relate to.
According to The Daily Mail, Neil realised a few pints in that he probably wouldn’t make it back in the next morning to get his car before the warden started their 8 am shift.
He figured his only option was to try and bribe the traffic warden in the hope of not getting a parking ticket. It was what he actually bribed him with that’s the best part, a packet of crisps and a lovely note to go with it.
The note read:
“Dear Mr/s Traffic Warden,
I will be at my car by 10:30am… promise!
Please do no book me, I had a Christmas pint with the lads and didn’t want to drink and drive, here is a packet of crisps on me!
Happy Christmas!”
He even made a smaller side note for passersby, in case they wanted to steal the packet:
“If you are not the traffic warden, please do not rob the packet of crisps… don’t be that guy… no one likes that guy.”

A charmer. A chancer. And an inspiration.
