I didnt prejudge, you said your self he dropped his fag, (ignorant) started effing and blinding (abusive)
I was merely stating my opinion which is what you came on this thread for. Just because we dont agree with you don't mean we cant post or that we are wrong.
His actions were threatening to say the least. Thats fact taken from what you said. Not pre judgement.
Another thing he could have been arrested for is 'actions likely to cause fear or distress' Would it have made any
difference if it had been a woman, now I am going to prejudge, probably not...................
He is not well within his rights to vent his anger by effing and blinding. There are thousands of other ways,make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
As this is a moneysaving site I should point out that ditching fags and McDonalds will benefit your finances (not to mention your health) no end. Plus no need to worry about parking tickets

On Thursday myself and the o/h went to Macdonalds. He got out to have a smoke while I went in to order.

Were you parked in a parking space, in the drive thru or was the car just abandoned?I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care

I rarely get a ticket, my husband on the other hand is always getting one for one reason or the other, usually it's his fault and he pays up. This however just seemed outrageous, and he's refusing to pay.
how??! It's not difficult not to get parking tickets!I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care

Parked in a parking bay, he was still with the car listening to the radio with the window down.0 -

He works near a football stadium and always seems to miss the huge signs posted everwhere saying there is a match on!0 -

He's already taken a lot of stick from me, so i feel i should defend the old git. He was caught off guard and i'm sure under different circumstances he would have had a more calmer reaction.
If he had known the ticket means nought then he probably would have used it to sensibly stub out his cigarette and proceeded to enjoy his meal.
Anyway, lesson learnt thanks to the brilliant MSEs.
Have a nice day.

Don't forget to tell your husband not to pay the other tickets either, unless they come from the council or police, as they are just invoices just like this one! If he does get booked from the council or police though, come back here, there are a lot of people who can help even with them.Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -
Dont pay it, as all the above has said. But tell your OH he needs to control himself. The man could have called the police and
he could have been done for abusive/threatening behaviour.
Getting a ticket is no excuse for this sort of behaviour. Whether we like it or not the man was just doing his job and really didnt deserve to be treated like that.

Don't worry about McKneff. He/She thinks they're above everyone else is this world and thinks they can Police everyone.
Nothing but and old woman sat on her !!!! with nothing better to do than slag off other people, like they did to me on my thread.0
