Just watched the programme online and quite enjoyed it. Most of the people whining about being clamped got what they deserved, though. They weren't just "a bit" over a line, they were completely across 2 bays! Are they blind? The attendant was right too: most people who get angry are angry at themselves for taking a chance and getting caught. Rules are made to be kept.
One thing I noticed on the programme was the sign saying that the tickets had to be displayed with time and date of expiry visible. There was no mention of where it had to be displayed or which way up, so how would the management explain the clamping for an "upside down" ticket?0 -
As I understand it (yet to run the clip) the lines were "pebbles" the same colour as the ground they were laid in. Very difficult to see.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Interesting program.
Anyone know if they are still clamping since the regs were updated a while ago??0
