    Yet more sloppy journalism with all that talk of "fines" and "penalties".
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    So basically if it takes you longer than 10 minutes to find a space/park and then to join the queue at the pay-machine if there is a queue you will get a pretty invoice even if you pay for the use of the car-park :p

    There are two good(ish) points about this piece,1) an MP is getting interested which might count for something and 2) its only excel so nothing to get worried about apart from faulty software which only reads some ins and outs if you do more than one visit.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Parked in Aldis last saturday week in Norwich and i now notice that they have a keypad to log in vehicle details etc....yawn....anyway my good lady(she didnt enter her vehicle details) got a letter from those nice guys at P.E today asking her not to do this again as she has contravened the parking rules?..Is this the new approach from PE forewarning you that they're going to "fine" you anyway?
    Hence to say that mrs Husheechee is pretty angry as it was me who was driving her car.....just wanted to play with mr PE...WHO THE HELL do these scammers think they are?...gorden bennet they'll be telling us that the "fine" has gone up and they're taking us to court....yawn..yawn yawn.....zzzzzzz

    Know its probably not the right place to post this but.....
    Get well soon Fabrice......

    Speaks the King of the Scammers.... the one and only PERKY masquerading as a legitimate forum user... how many disabled people did you fine this week then? Been a good one for you? And then, there's the elderly disabled? secures your pension I suppose.

    I'm cool, baby. The capitals were aimed at you. Thought it would smoke you out.

    You need to take a cyanide one.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    Perky's posts becoming more weird daily. Has he finally lost it or was it just a slow night on the dating websites?
