    nice one goldilockz:money:
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
  • Lol! Its a good effort i grant you but you must pay the tariff for the area in which you park, not a random one round the corner! Would cough up before you have to pay the increased amount. Cant see you have a leg to stand on.

    Where would your theory end... one street away.... two streets..... other side of town......middle of London (assuming you dont live there!)
  • just adding that if you dispute they give you longer so you can still pay the £30 but i feel its a waste of time they'll not let you off.

    great idea if it worked though!!

    Yes we very much read it... think you'll find that as alluded to above, the contents of this thread is pretty much worthless as has been merged to make it useless to anyone who missed the original! (i was 2nd poster in mine!) :T

    Not so in Milton Keynes - if you dispute then the 50% reduction lapses and if they find against you it's the full £60

    Your sarcastic clapping hands are rather misplaced aren't they? i responded to what I saw based on the times allocated to your post.

    It isn;t your fault they are out of time order, nor mine, nor i believe the board guide. Must have been the site team?

    Your advice, though, was still flawed, as explained by crabman. When full details of any case have not yet been established i fail to see how any final advice can be given.
