like I said, if you read the article on the linky I pasted, you
get the sense that the couple "buay lun" cos they couldn't use the
rain shelter themselves to drop off groceries .....
this is not a holier-than-thou attitude, this is a selfish and
stuck up attitude that smacks of intolerance ....
they are probably the sort of neighbour who complains when a
baby starts wailing at 11pm ....
again, the policemen were attending to a call, they were not
sitting in a coffee shop drinking coffee ... to go there and make
noise, and in turn to make a fuss when they get booked for illegal
parking themselves ... 
and have they no shame ? .... to make such a public fuss thus ?
... it's clear that they were the ones in the wrong ....
