    Start by editing your post to remove information about who did what. Only ever refer to The Driver and The Keeper, who ARE two different people as far as anyone is concerned.
    I understand the requirement to write in third person perspective...

    I am not sure you do.

    It is very important that you do not give any clues to the identity of the driver in any posts you make on here.

    So, for example, I've selected the first part of one paragraph from your original post and edited appropriately:
    The driver is an unemployed Granddad, and he wanted to use the cashpoint machine, and the Co-Op shop, and the post office (all in same place). The driver had no money until he had checked the cashpoint. When the driver left his car, he had 3 passengers inside (his daughter, and 2 granddaughters under the ages of 12) but as they were all ill with a cough/cold, and crying, he left them alone to visit the cashpoint first.

    Now, please edit your original post in the same way.

    Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware that they could take information gained from here to use, I wrongly assumed that they would just use what I provide to them directly. I will edit the original post shortly.

    It's Earlham House - a well known cash cow site - the appeal won't work, nor will the complaint because this isn't down to the Co-op, it's not their fault and I am sure they HATE it.

    It's down to the company which owns the land and lets this protection racket operate.

    From recent articles linked below:

    The latest controversy over paid parking followed Bellgold Properties’ sale of the Earlham House’s free hold in April this year. Despite selling the building to Castelnau Acquisitions, it retained ownership of the car park and is responsible for the proposed charges.

    Search this forum for the words 'Earlham NPE' and I reckon you will reassured that NPE (the old company of those initials were ex-clampers) are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Nothing to worry about.

    No idea why any local wouldn't know about this awful, notorious, scummy place and boycott it, even if it's their nearest stores/Post Office, this is NOT somewhere to shop.

    Get the Grandad to do something more useful than appealing - complain to the local Councillors and MP, rattle some cages and add his name to petitions, make some noise about this scam!

    It's not Earlham House, but I can see the confusion. This is at a different location up towards the University. I don't know who the landowner is yet.

    Thanks for the info though.

    And the person I spoke to via anon call earlier to the East Of England Co-Op helpdesk, thought that the land was owned by East of England Co-Op but he couldn't be certain, and couldn't put me through to his manager as he wasn't in.

    Also, for clarification. I was told that the Co-Operative Food (Earlham House), is a different Co-Op to the East Of England Co-Op (Earlham Green Lane). The anon call I made to the latter today confirmed that the CEO is totally different.

    That sign is terrible.

    For a start, the £100 wording isn't big enough.

    The sort of scam is the same as at Earlham House though! No different really, except the landowner responsible for allowing the protection racket operating at each site may well be different.

    I really wouldn't waste too much time on it except for rattling cages with complaints.

    I do agree with NPE on one thing (astonishingly): when a car has a disabled person or child passenger who has no intention of getting out, the driver should use a normal bay. Of course.

    Not saying it happened in your case because you've described something a bit different, but I abhor the usual lazy git behaviour you see so often, of old 'look at me, I'm entitled to park and take up space in a disabled bay' husbands sitting in a car with their Blue Badge on show, whilst their non-disabled wife shops in a Supermarket. Lazy and selfish, taking up disabled bays for no reason.

    better photos of both the yellow and blue signage , very hard to read at the moment ,

    the yellow sign looks to be in addition to the std one (below) , however there does not seem to be a company name and it is a different colour/font to the one below , it also seems to lack a company name / contact info , (against IPC rules) and could be classed as graffiti to the man on the street

    Some new huge detailed pics. Right-click and open in new window/tab does work to expand the image.

    This yellow sign does look like it may have been modified by someone - I'm all confused as to whether it is genuine, as it could have been done by anyone.
