It was indeed very funny when the Chepstow lorry, accompanied by the local police, turned up in the northern end of Green Street, about 10 years ago.
This is where all the pakistani shops have their fruit and veg out on display on the aforementioned pallets, on the pavement, less than 4 feet from the passing traffic.
Apsrt from the exhaust fumes from heavy traffic all day, dogs pissing on the pallets, and odd passing skinheads spitting on the wares, all the pallets were 'blues', and they were crap shops anyway.
Green Sreet is a very busy road and bus route, but only one lane either way. Double yellow lines could mean nothing, it depended which traffic wardens were out on patrol, if it was the grevilles, they did them all for tickets but the pakistani warden never did one
However, unperturbed by traffic chaos, and protestations from asian shopkeeprs, the driver of the lorry collected every visible pallet while the police were there to calm any altercations.
If only it had been a match day, less than half a mile from Upton Park, it would have been even funnier
A few weeks later, they did it again in High Street North, but that wasn't on a Saturday.
I wonder which upright and honest citizen phoned them to let them know where hundreds of their pallets were?

You can't sell blue pallets, no yards will buy them.
