Ananova:

A woman was let off her parking ticket after her toddler was sick on the way to the car.

A parking ticket boss let Laurie Ward off the £30 fine but told her: "Please make sure your daughter only vomits within pay and display time."

Laurie, from Brighton, was not amused. She said: "It was an attempt at humour. This is not the way I expect to be treated by a public body."

She got the ticket after 21-month-old Rose threw up on the way to her car.

She appealed to Brighton council who sent her the reply.

According to the Mirror a spokesman said: "We apologise if any offence was taken."
