Somebody has sent in this photograph of a local warden fast asleep and snoring in his car with the window open, the music on, parked in a motorcycle space and on the street corner.

Did he even drop a cigarette butt on the street?
No ciccio, he just dropped his butt on the seat.
To be honest. It’s best to let sleeping dogs lie especially in Sliema where the residents parking has been revoked by our Great Lăoshī (teacher) the Beloved Minister for departed Arriva.

If ministers can park on double yellow lines why cannot wardens have a rest? After all he is only copying his masters’ attitude.
Sleeping Duty
…new concept, following that of the sleeping policeman.
But no prince will wake them up.
He also must have driven wrong way.
It’s a one way street from the Front to Windsor Terrace.
I keep seeing ministerial cars parked illegally or dangerously or both. I’ve seen a car with its engine left running for an hour so that when the MP comes out he finds a cool air conditioned car. The GN number plate is clearly visible together with a number like let’s say GM 70. Is there some way for us lesser mortals to find out which MP is using which car?
More than that. The warden’s car is parked in George Borg Street, Sliema (formerly Point Street) which is One Way up from Tower Road.
The car is facing the wrong way and will have exited travelling in the wrong direction with consequent hazard to vehicles travelling towards Balluta or, worse, turning off into George Borg Street.
And may I add that that road is one-way, and he is parked facing the wrong direction.
And that’s not to mention that that car is facing the wrong direction coming out of a one way street.
I hope at least that he managed to give a ticket to that white car parked illegally on the pavement before taking his well deserved beauty nap.
And parked facing the wrong way. That is Point Street in Sliema.
He’s probably a practitioner of Feng Shui.
He is merely making sure that he is sleeping facing the ideal direction.
He doesn’t look to be sleeping to me. He looks as if he has just got into the car and is pulling the door closed. What makes you think he’s sleeping?
[Daphne – The person who took the photograph took it precisely because he was sleeping.]
So he was sleeping with the car door part way open and his arm floating in the air? I think like most scenes you can make it look like anything you want if you take the photo at the right moment.
[Daphne – No, Paul, he was asleep.]
I’m sorry but I just can’t see how he could possibly be asleep with his right arm floating in the air! My limbs tend to relax when I’m sleeping.
He is probably being inspired by the exceptional new direction of his young prime minister.
….and wrong way.
Let sleeping dogs lie
Both doors open for that priceless afternoon breeze.
I can assure you he was sleeping. But apparently authorities who contacted him said that he wasn’t doing anything wrong because he wasn’t on duty and he was still in the car. And yes that is a one way.
