    It's great to know that we in Britain have exported this type of bullsh*t to all the furthest corners of the world.

    Its good to know that meaningless drivel is being exported around the world by us as FA just said, but did your son open an account with them then ? LOL
    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?

    Surprisingly there are no mentions of Mongface on google , except this post of course.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Not much of a discount......

    Did set me wondering how our beloved PPC companies deal with foreign vehicles?
    A PPC is not just for Christmas...with a few CCJ threats you should have enough toilet paper to last well into the new year.....
