my opinion of excel changed today.....

While parking in staples today in Sheffield I got chatting to a very fit parking lad(vcs/Excel).... He actually chatted me up. I was really flattered!! But had to go home boo hoo!!!

He could have given me his ticket any day!!!

Made me feel all light headed 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?

    Given some PPC Troll's homophobic tendencies I hope you haven't got the poor lad the sack!;)

    This mean you may be acquiring a few Excel tickets then?

    Ive worked/helped to run car parks in the past for things such as country shows and other simalar events as a volunteer helping to raise money for local charitys, rainsg money through gate takings, or a contribution form the event organisers.

    At one event there were a couple of 'profesional parking' people who beleived in all the stuff about fines and court, and they also beleieved that it would be more effective to put a ticket on a car and fine those who park in disabled places/cause an obstruction than the put a call out over the PA system for the person with a car type and regsitratration to return to the car park imediatly and contact someone on the gate as there is a problem with your vehicle.

    One method will usualy make someone come to the car park as they think theres a problem with their vehicle, and then it will usualy me moved, the "profesional" parking method will just mean a ticket is left on the vehicle, and there it will stay until the driver returns..

    but by and large, most of them are human, just a little brainwashed by those in positions above them.

    He's probably just working to save up for a leg stretch operation, prior to his next modelling job.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Be it working for a dodgy company, at least the lad was out earning money (and probably paying tax), as opposed to being one of the millions unemployed and drawing benefits from the state.

    It's better then working in a cold-calling place whom harasses a lot more people on a daily basis with cold-calls trying to sell stuff,
