Asda and Not so smart

I finally received the unofficial Asda spiel today about how the car park is Council owned and nothing to do with Asda.
Lady was quite insistent about the 'fact' too.
Questioning her about the validity of her claim - how come a private scammer 'manages' the site? How come the signs say Asda Ltd on them? etc.
All to no avail. She was having none of it.
Did make me smile, especially when i saw the sign.

    Do you think it a bit premature to hit the Asda FB as per Aldi, or maybe that may take a bit of the heat from Aldi?

    Legitimate strategy in due course I think :)
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
