After the grass-cutting fiasco, the city of Sheffield faces woe over yellow lines


Remember these guys?

They were shocked and disgusted after the local council in Sheffield cut their grass verges and didn’t clear up after themselves.

Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.

Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?

Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.

Venkman: Exactly.

Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!

Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…

Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!

Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point!

Yes, we went the full Ghostbusters, and for good reason. Just look what’s happened now:

Sheffield Star: Somebody’s put the drain covers back the wrong way round leading to CHAOS for yellow line enthusiasts

Like we said: Dogs and cats living together.

According to the anonymous resident who sent in the photo: “This is simply not good enough and makes our City a laughing stock”.

You would not be incorrect to surmise that nobody would ever have found out about this – and made Sheffield a laughing stock – had the photo not been sent in to a content-hungry local newspaper.

So well done.
