Advice on parking ticket please

Hi there,

I was issued a ticket 1 min past the period where you can park on my highstreet while I was at the car ready to move it. They didn't even get chance to stick it to my window!

Is there any grounds for appeal here or is it a victory for the stealth tax man?

I have uploaded the image here,


Any help or at least clarification of my position would be eternally welcome.

Thanks

    It's worth a go to challenge but I think they've got you bang to rights, you overstayed.

    The back is just as important as the front. Can you post a pic of that too, please?

    Have you seen all of the ticket and the signs? Are they all spot-on correct?

    I was going to make a smart arsed comment, but I wont... ;)
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
