I HAVE to object quite strongly about your article regarding an ambulance driver parked in a disabled bay at McDonald’s.

Mr Granville does really need to get a life. Not so long ago, the ambulance-man would have got respect, now he gets reported.

What kind of world do we live in when somebody that saves lives for a living, is seen as fair game for some saddo for parking non-obstructively for a break during a long shift.

Most of us worry about the housing crisis and whether our children and grandchildren will get jobs that will pay for a mortgage, or whether some nutter in the Middle or Far East is going to fire off a nuclear bomb and destroy us all, or if we ourselves may be made homeless if we lose our jobs. However, Mr Granville, at only the age of 34, decides that parking is the main worry for this world.

Not only that but his complaint could ultimately have ended up with the paramedic, a normal hard-working man, being suspended or losing his job. What was the point you were trying to make Mr Granville? Words fail me or at least words that could be printed.

This paramedic was sat in his car and would have moved at anytime. I hope that whenever Mr Granville is in need of an emergency and he rings 999, when he mentions his name, the paramedic will think, mmmm this is the sad person that reported me on my break, don’t think I’ll be in too much of a hurry here.

Unfortunately, we know he would not think like this, as he is a professional, unlike the bitter Mr Granville.
