Excel on Rip Off Britain Now

Good old Excel have been sending their invoices to residents who pass through ANPR cameras to get to their homes. They manage a nearby car park but their cameras pick up local residents. What a bunch of merchant bankers, but the BBC are just as bad, referring to their speculative invoices as fines yet again!

    On BBC 1 AGAIN, ripping off MORE people.

    This time issuing more invoices to people using the land for all of 3 seconds, travelling into their own driveways.

    Anyone just that pile of pish ?

    Residents getting tickets from EXCEL as they access their drives / property through one of "their" car park entrances.

    They said eff all about the ticket not being enforceable, almost as carp as that Dom Littlewood toss pot.

    If it were me living there Id sue the f***ers for every penny they have for harassment, that and adjusting the aim of the cameras with a scaffold pole.

    I've always thought this programme really states the obvious about pretty much everything, but that may be in part because I've spent too much time on MSE :)

    Wish the BBC would get their house in order and give out proper info rather than just overpaying their presenters
