    Maybe a system of validations for browsers.

    Better than inviting parking eye to harass customers who spend a bit longer buying stuff.

    It really does make you wonder who signed these contracts off with PE, insofar as the employee not having the intellect or foresight to recognise that all that PE (and any other PPC) ever wanted to do was to suck the blood of their very own customers, whose business was vital to their own busness. Makes you want to puke!

    I just can't believe that the only attraction to the retailer was free 'management'.

    What I dont get yet is this, hoping I win my appeal with Parking Eye via POPLA, once POPLA show they are breaching the BPA guidelines what action will firstly the Range take (thats if they finally admit to taking out the contract with The Range) and why can't further action be taken by BPA or someone else to suspend Parking Eye operating at the said car park until they rectify the breaches??

    Because they've all got their snouts in the same trough.

    Have you ever considered what you would do to try to moderate the behaviour of porcine as they ravage their feeding vessel filled to the brim with swill?

    I'm sure, between us, we can see you successfully through POPLA - of late it's been like shooting fish in a barrel, but let's not get complacent, plenty of work to do yet.

    Your case, however, is but a minor skirmish in the overall war. Getting retailers, in particular, - The Range, Aldi, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury etc - to recognise that the leeching of hard earned money from their customers by their vampire parking agents is NOT good for business.

    Somerfield recognised this, but fell foul of their own naïvete in initially jumping into bed with the Devil by signing his contract; they were rammed hard by their bedmate in the High Court and paid the price in damages to get shot of them.

    Still, they have saved their valuable customers future stress and hassle of dealing with any more of PE intimidation. You'd have thought their rivals would have twigged, but as they say, there's no fool like an old fool.

    If people are able to support Somerfield, then do it - in recognition of their preparedness to stand up against what's not right!

    How do you propose we do that?

    Besides, the co-op, who bought somerfield haven't exactly learnt their lesson. Who is it they use as carpark scammers?, yep none other than PE.
