    I would say that any rep that parks is on at some time.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    No he was hoping for the parking hunk of the year to stick on his lonely hearts webpage.

    It's that time of year again, was it really a year ago when I started this old thread!

    Birmingham NEC free show end of March 2011!

    Highlight to note, Roxburghe will be there showing off 'PayMyPCN.net' devised by their IT chap Duane Stubbs (found him on Twitter). Wonder if Steve Dargonne - ex Midland Bank manager I believe, and signatory of their threatograms who should know better - will be there too:

    And if that doesn't tempt you to pop in and say hello, what about crashing this little party in London on 11th March 2011:

    Ooooo look, Roxburghe are nominated there as well...has anyone got a fake PCN handy to try a dummy run of their innovative 'PayMyPCN.net' (obviously don't actually pay it!).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hmmm if paymypcn.net was a major player and loads of people went there to pay PCNs it would be great if someone could accidentally hack or DDOS the site.

    Are there any nominations for parking awards to companies that actually created something that does not involve the extortion of money from the public? That's all the BPA seems to be about these days. Money money money, not better parking.

    Rates

    £125 + VAT Per Person

    Well if idiots think people should be forced to pay £60 for parking an inch over a line, or overstaying by 30 seconds - then they would be stupid enough to pay amounts like that wouldn't they?! Wonder what Z list celebrities they have booked? Seems they had Jon Culshaw last year.

    Didn't see many nominations for the privates in the lists. Mind you I didn't see "Best Numpty award" in the list either.

    Roxburghe in the SIX Card innovation category (?) Should that not be Sick Bag innovation?
