On Vine today from 1.05 to 1.45 I'll be talking private parking and public parking tickets thought you may enjoy it. Also I know they'll be looking for people to call in with their stories and views on it. Thought I'd let you know Martin

Well done getting on the programme, but what a waste of airtime. You get a few minutes to try and put across a very complicated picture, then you get cut off to play some music!

As for the callers bluster about it being 'specific performance' and not breach of contract. This would be lost on 99% of the population and a red herring argument to avoid the issue of legality and try and distract Martin from the points he was making. Classic tactics from someone losing an argument.

It also filled airtime therefore giving less time for valid points to be made.
