Ignorance.- was not bliss in this case!
On a recent visit to
our old stomping
grounds (Brampton) it
was reinforced in my
mind just 'how many
changes have taken place
over the last 28 years.
One of those changes
was a costly one.
M. the search for a
restaurant open,: • for
breakfast was successful,
we were then: faced with
f nding -a parking spot on
a downtown. Brampton
. street: Spotting an open-
ing in front of a long line
of cars on, one street, ; we
pulled .in, locked ; the car
and 'headed off,to Perks,
a.place ."I was a wait-
ress as a high school stu-
dent.
When we went back to
the car, the thanks we
received for patronizing
downtown Brampton
was a parking ticket!
It was our own fault
butthe parking infringe-
ment was. made id all
innocence.'
'There's so many signs
on the poles down there,
and not having been
exposed to one .of them,
we didn't realize we were
pulling a 110,110.
We had readone sign
saying 'no parking
between 7 `a.m.' and 7
p.m. on weekdays. Okay,
so this was a Sunday.
Then there was the.
pickup truck parked right
in fro.it of us. Never,,

The fine. for 'stopping
in a prohibited area' —
$40! However, <if you,
paid it within 5 working
days theygive you a .$10
discount.! Thank you,
thank you. (We had
parked in a transit load-
ing area. That's the black
square with a line.
through it.)
As it, was a Sunday,
we couldn't pay it, in pep -
son, so that left Canada
Post to look after deliver-
ing the cheque.
Wanting to take,
advantage_ of ..the dis-
count, but knowing how
mail can ;sometimes' take
a .long time, o reach its

Canada 'Post $3.50 to ..

Brampttin'on"time!
Needless to Say, it was
an 'expensive breakfast.

handbook out and check-
ing out,all the signs.
Ignorance may be bliss
on some occasion, but
when '.it' comes . to city
parking I= have another
work for it! '
It's also costly visiting
people in the Brampton'
hospital. In one parking
lot right beside the hospi-
tal it can. cost you $8 for
the day.' 'T'he lot right.
across the street is $5 per
weekday,, $3 for evenings

Editor's note: The following article was
subrnitred for the interes't of our:readers.
it was taken from "Albainn" which
appears to:be.'a.news Bulletin for the 1st
Battalion Argyll & Sutherland
Highlanders Of Canada (EL:) Veterans
Association. The writer was Pinky Craig:
During the Indian. Mutiny, a group of
Britons living in India were surrounded
with little or no hope of }being rescued..
Death and torture facedthem when the
garrison at Lucknow surrendered. .
Jessie, a Scottish nurse, while musing
on the terrible situation they were in,
'suddenly raised her head and listened.
Was she just dreaming of„the hills and
glens 'of her native land, or was that the
sound of pipes floating on the breeze?
"Dinnae ye hear it?' she cried out.
Others listened but could hear nothing
and thought Jessie was imagining things.
• But Jessie had heard the .wild cry of,.
the pipes right enough, for at that
<moment the Highlanders, under Sir Cohn
Campbell,'were 'making a forced march
from Allahabad to Lucknow. The pipers
were playing ,the same regimental march
the Argylls play today: The Campbells
are coming:
The enemy, was routed and the siege,
lifted, the relief of Lucknow is now a part
of our military history. The part. played
by Jessie, the Scottish nurse, may be just
a legend, butI•like to think she was there
cry%ng. out, "pinnae ye hear it, dinnae 'ye
hear them,” giving hope to the belea-
guered garrison during that long ago
war...
