    Let's hope the prosecution have a strong case to put before the court. Was Midland Parking the company featured on Watchdog at some time?

    Not sure about Watchdog but they were featured on the local "Inside Out" prog a while back:

    Now the ad is pointing to CCS parking. Their website shows and operative putting a PENALTY notice under a windscreen. If that's what 'over 30 years combined experience' comes up with, no wonder the industry includes legally illiterate thugs.
    Foot, self, shoot springs to mind.

    Having a spare moment, I opened a different browser and clicked a few more times, cos they will probably be on pay per click with google.

    Still concerns me that it takes hundreds of complaints and six years for the justice system to attempt to do anything about it.

    That's pointless, Google will simply render all your clicks invalid and the advertiser will get a refund on those invalid clicks.
