    Let's not be too harsh on Perky, hasbeen and the rest. I was talking to clients about ethics yesterday and was able to use the PPCs as an example of operating just within the law but with ethical standards that they could not afford their charity to employ. Just like when my mum told me to behave better than that Joe Bloggs!

    ps Give them FA, it's just toooooo easy isn't it?

    "Just within the law"? Since when has demanding money with menaces been legal. Unless you're the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of course, as we'll find out tomorrow.

    I, for one, shall not rest until at least those two creatures are posting on the Bankruptcy forum.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    Stephen,

    It is sadly just within the law or else they would have been closed down by now. Unfortunately, at times the law is an !!!, just like the PPCs.

    Let's not be too hard on Perky, he is probably a nice fellow once you get to know him. Maybe he will see the light one day and take up more legitimate work.

    Like drug dealing, or burglary.

    At least those are crooks that don't try to pretend they are something respectable.

    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.
    Which MP might that be then, Please ?
    It`s just that I was recently at an MPs surgery and another customer was there to complain about parking issues and also the MP had rec`d a ticket.

    Thanks to give them FA for the help...i can now "find" what ive posted before................was going to park in my local Tescos(only cos theyve got Mr Parking Sly management in there doing thier bit for the local car parking community) and was going to wind Mr PE up but they have a time limit of THREE hours!!!! cant be bothered to stay in there that long...pity.
    Do you think that posting a few notes on drivers screens pointing drivers in the right direction to this forum would be....er....legal?.....promise i wouldnt use capitals.

    Probably more "legal" than the fake invoices Parking Lie see fit to put under windscreen wipers....

    How could it not be "Legal"? This is still a free country!! There is absolutely nothing they could do about it.

    If the local pizza parlour can leave flyers on cars, so can people leaving anti-PPC leaflets.

    You could even play the PPCs at their own game by including "It is an offence for anyone except an authorised person to remove this leaflet". That should stop their goons confiscating the notice.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
