Parking fine at Mid-kent college

All of which are quite utterly irrelevant in this case. You simply cannot set enforcable contract terms that are outside the law to begin with. Equally, these contracts don't change much between institutions, so I've seen plenty of them over the years.
Never mind that on private property, any "parking law" is fiction of of your fevered imagination. :rolleyes:
Oh.
Pogo Pogo Pogo
You simply dont get it.
Dont worry one day you will.
Try this for an example, I posted it yesterday but you choose to ignore it
"Tell me, if all the staff at Tescos parked at the front of the store when they worked & also parked in disabled & family spaces what exactly would happen to them apart from getting useless bits of paper shoved on the car?"
Maybe this example might open up your VERY closed mind.
Give it a go, try & think of a couple of things that may or may not happen....
Use your instinct..
Better still use that last ounze of common sense you have left..Not Again0 -

I didn't Ignore it. Did you read the OP?She is a full-time student at mid-kent college. She parked up in the student car park area
So once again, your question is irrelevant. The OP's daughter had parked as directed/agreed for a student. Or are you now departing from your "stick to the facts line?
Also, disabled and family spaces are meaningless in private parking. And most store staff do park out front IME.0 -

You cant even answer the question.
Its one of them things that end in a >>>>>?<<<<
Let us try again. I will point the question out to you.

Now not only would that save me (or my daughter) a few walks in the dark & rain it would save me loads of money.
And the inference in a number of your other posts is quite clear. :rolleyes:0 -

Im sure the OP has found it all very helpful, judging by their responses.0 -

Nothing would happen. In cases where members of the public have had these tickets and gone to the manager they have been told it is nothing to do with Tesco, and they should take it up with the PPC.
This is partly because many supermarkets don't own the car parks, they are either rented from a property company or part of a larger complex of shops.
Tesco cannot penalise a staff member for not paying a debt to a third party company. If you still cannot understand this, ring Tesco's headquarters and ask.0 -

The problem with MSE is it attracts people who only want to argue for the sake of it.They are not interested in listening to advice given by people who have been in the same situation,but rather, prefer to spend long hours thinking up spurious points to cloud the advice given.
Thankfully there are much better sites populated by people who WANT to help, rather than feed their own inflated ego.

Oldone, I agree with you 100%. I have asked questions on thsi forum only to find that 80% of replies are attacking me regaridng the question. The balance are helpful and answer the question. I have starting using another forum where 80% or more of the people are helpful and not of the "Perky the troll" variety who cannot accept when they are wrong.0
