I don't know why they're stil called traffic wardens. Their job is solely to collect revenue.

They aren't called traffic wardens generally. They are employed by the council or contracted out and are known as Civil Enforcement officers and have fuck all power with respect to the OP's situation. 

According to the BBC in 2015 the remaining traffic wardens were 10 in Sussex, five in Greater Manchester, and one each in Hampshire, Northamptonshire and West Yorkshire.

What sort of person growing up thinks, "I want to be a traffic warden"?

Nope. If your engine is off and your keys aren't in the ignition you're in the clear. He can shove the ticket machine up his arse.

This 100%

Motorway plod got arsey with me once in a stationary (as far as the eye could see) queue. His lane then moved 40ft, so that was the end of that.  If you're stopped and engine is off can't see the issue personally. I get that using a phone on the move is dangerous and support the campaign (but 6 pts is harsh c/w due-care-and-attention penalties).
