    I find the whole thing almost comical. I am picturing you guys driving around and parking where you wish, true renegades!

    You must have hundereds of ongoing PPC letters and cases, yet because you know the rules, you can laugh in their faces as you continue to park where you wish.

    Brilliant stuff. Loving the work of all of you.

    Its not quite like that. We wont pay the silly invoices but not many here advocate abusing other peoples land. They do actually have the right to say what can and cant be done on their land. Most of us, if its a paying car park pay the fee!

    If a private company sneaks up with a charge for breaking one of their silly rules is when we become militant!!:D

    I managed to earn myself one tonight, parked half on a pavement out of the way
    And there was me, thinking that pavements were for walking on!

    I'm joking of course, I dont agree with a blatant disregard for rules, but I cannot stand the charges that come with minor errors, too out of proportion.

    We sometimes are accused of being the "parking M4fia" on this forum by some MSE members, who think we go around the country parking on any piece of private land we can find.

    When in actual fact its getting ripped off that we object too!

    And, of course, most so-called "private land" are actually places where the public are invited to park. This includes retail parks, supermarkets, railway stations and airports.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
