    Nobody on here advocates that. The car-park operator is entitled to ask for a reasonable amount for being able to park. This pays for the upkeep of the car-park. What we object to is the unreasonable "penalties" demanded by these companies for breaking their silly rules. Also, by paying the fee to park, you are maintaining the moral high ground. You are paying what is asked for, with the proviso that you won't pay sums of money that in no way represent the actual material loss suffered by the land-owner in the event those rules are broken.

    Quite so.

    Had the company who sent me a bill for 43 minutes parking asked for a tenner or under, I would probably have paid it.

    But of course they don't, they ask for £80.

    Yep, totally agree, the standard fee they charge is more than reasonable. i will continue to pay that as I did that day, albeit a little later than normal!

    If it's from CP PLus at a Railway Station it'll be non-enforceable.
