Yeah maybe the traffic ticket is more about class differences. One cultural difference is that in the UK, a lot of sitcoms are about lower/middle class people.

Yeah maybe the traffic ticket is more about class differences. One cultural difference is that in the UK, a lot of sitcoms are about lower/middle class people. In the US many sitcoms seem to be about insanely rich people. So perhaps that comes into play. But in any event, the result would have been similar anywhere where supercars are a rarity. * Crowd gather to see supercar * Parking attendent give car a ticket * Crowd cheer/laugh/etc because it's something you don't see often. Also there's probably a large element of people cheering, glad to see that laws are equally applied to both rich and poor. I don't think you can just cite this as evidence that people in the UK are jealous of wealth.
