PCN timings

Posts: 100 Forumite
I have just got a PCN ticket, issued by my local council warden. I was parked on a double yellow line, hazards on, to go into a shop (yes I shouldn't have done it, before I get shot down).
I saw a warden, went straight out and said sorry I will move. She said too late I have issued the ticket (she had just taken a picture). I said I had just gone into the shop for a few minutes, her response was a curt, "not my problem" and walked off.
I went back into the shop as I already had a ticket, so a few more minutes to pick up my goods would not matter. As I came out of the shop, a further warden was taking a picture, I said I have already been given a ticket, he said not from me, I showed him my ticket, and said do I not get a few mins grace? He replied, yes 5 mins, I showed him my ticket, it said 1st picture taken 13.58 and ticket was served, time printed, 14.03, that is 5 mins? he just said yes 5 mins?...................................… is my point, I have 5 mins grace, so surly the ticked should not have been served until 14.06? Advice please.
