A driver who went for a pint with mates in Waterloo left a cheeky note for traffic wardens in a bid to escape a ticket - and even attached a packet of crisps.

The letter, left in the window of a parked car on South Road, begs officers not to give him a parking ticket.

Promising to be back at his car by 10.30am, he offers the traffic warden a packet of Tags Tasty Crisps - but warns passers-by not to steal it.

The note reads: “Dear Mr/s Traffic Warden, I will be at my car by 10.30am... promise!

“Please do not book me. I had a Christmas pint with the lads and didn’t want to drink and drive.

“Here is a packet of crisps on me!!

“Happy Christmas!!”

The note then reads: “If you are not the traffic warden please don’t rob the crisps... Don’t be that guy... No-one likes that guy!”
