What does this line mean? Not the dropped kerb lines that are in

OK they obviously discourage parking, but are you tickettable if you
actually park on them?

They're nothing to do with parking (which is restricted by the requirements
of the Highway Code in any event). The edge line is just there to mark the
boundary of the road more distinctively. In some other European countries
(notably Germany), it is very rare to encounter any stretch of road which is
not so marked, usually equipped with position marker stakes as well.

Many thanks everyone. Now for the important bit, wish I could post a
photo here. This stretch of road had a white gutter-line 10 yards each
side of a speed hump. At each end of the white line is a "No parking
on the verge or footpath" sign.

The white lines are nothing to do with parking, as you've been told
already.
