I use to work, albeit briefly, in a bailiffs office. It was in the days before it was privatised.

No, not really. Sometimes we'd get irrate debtors banging on the front door with their cash in order to pay their debt repayments. We'd tell them that wasn't the correct way to pay it off. Then they'd sometimes get angry, throw stones at the windows and we'd have to call the Police! What they didn't seem to understand that their debt repayment had to be paid via the court that issused them with the penalty - not the bailiffs office.

I once worked as a nightwatchman at a car pound. Really easy to do - you just sit in an office looking out on the pound and watch the cars all night. Security was basic and if you saw anything unusal you pressed a button under the desk which sent a call directly to the local Police station - that never happend when I was on duty.
Excellent pay for those days (1993) 12 quid an hour and a 12 hour shift.

Nice one! I just think that prolonged inactivity make the time drag by! If you get in the zone with something, time has no meaning, what seems like 3 minutes could be 3 hours! Yay! If you could entertain yourself with good reading etc, it would be totally sound.
I had to get my car back from a car pound in the East End lately- ?135!! I was seething, as i was only away 5 minutes, the ticket station was out of order, had to go half a mile to get one- returned, car on lorry! Farcical- knew the fellas where just doing their job, respected that, but at the pound, did I kick up feck!! The guys there are used to it, though- they just gave me an appeal form, and explained some unpublished subtleties of the Law and the Highway Code!
bad day..... especially when you weren't intentionally at fault.
