town and country parking go all geeky.
I posted a while back about how the unwashed sphincters at TCP had come over all techie and invested in cutting-edge technology that virtually guarantees that anyone using my local waitrose car park will be issued a 'ticket' for overstaying from 1 min upwards. to recap: all bays are now numbered and fitted out with a…

I took my missus out to the cinema at cineworld in Sheffield and we arrived at about 8.10pm ish, after looking for a parking space for the best part of 20 mins I decided to put my vehicle on the kerb leaving plenty of room for access around my vehicle.

Another Roxburghe/Excell thread
Hi All, I recieved a "parking ticket" from Excell parking services earlier in the year on an occasion where I'd actually bought a ticket but it had fallen from the dashboard. I appealed against it sending them a copy of the ticket, unsuprisingly my appeal was rejected. After reading lots of very helpful information on this…

Sign wasn't there when I parked
This is a funny one (well, not that funny as I got the fine), I have always a place where I park close to work, it has always been fine, no signs, no yellow lines, NOTHING.

Pay & Display Scam in Merton
Most council pay & display machines charge by the minute. So say in Chelsea you pay £3.00 for 60 min: 10p gets 2 mins, 50p gets 10 mins, and so on - whatever change you have for pro rata time. Fair game! 50p = 10 min time to go to toilet. NOT SO in Merton they only charge £1.45 per 30 minute slots. (minimum charge) But if…

My good deed for the day
Left work at half five and saw a fake PCN, two in fact, on a car in the car park. Went back to work, grabbed a pen and a bit of scrap paper, wrote a note telling them not to pay and left a link to here, opened the little plastic packet and placed it inside. Fingers crossed the PPC didn't see me do it! :D I had to laugh at…
