A motorist in Glenrothes has been caught out twice by the apparent ‘James Bond of parking wardens’ in Fife.
The driver has received two tickets for parking in Leslie, Fife, with the second issued by a warden who signed the notice as “JB”.
As well as sharing the same initials as the famous MI6 spy, the warden also has the same ID number as Bond’s codename — 007.
Despite the recipient thinking it was a prank, Fife Council confirmed the ticket was real with the warden having a “licence to bill”.
“When I received the ticket I opened it as you normally would, then I noticed the agent number 007 and thought maybe it was just a funny coincidence.
“When I looked further down and the ticket was signed off as “JB” and I obviously thought of James Bond.
“It made me question whether or not the parking ticket was actually real or if it was just a joke. It’s the second ticket that I had received in the same spot.

“Fife Council confirmed it was real though, so people should look out for the James Bond of parking wardens in their street.”
The local authority has said the similarities are just a coincidence.
Scott “M” Blyth, lead consultant with Fife Council’s Transportation Services, confirmed that this is a real ticket, saying: “Unfortunately for this driver, that’s a genuine ticket from a genuine officer and in this instance JB does have a licence to bill.”
