    Can you turn them up the right way, its far easier to read.:-)
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I can't see anything missing in the wording - but maybe someone can see a flaw:

    Can you post about where you parked, show pics of the lines and signs (or Google Street View link but this will be out of date and so unreliable)?

    Was it in a Controlled Parking Zone on a single yellow line? If so you have an avenue of appeal if the Council has not correctly CPZ-signed each and every possible entrance to the zone which you COULD have taken that day (not just the route you DID take). Unless it's a narrow road, each entrance to the CPZ needs clear/visible and correct signs facing you on both sides of the road.

    Or was it on a double yellow?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
