    Why didn't you say that in your first post?

    EDIT:

    Just to bring attention to this. 3 hours 15 minutes (so presumably over the time limit), not the registered keeper, and going off-site. All in one case from a new poster who offers nothing else. Doesn't seem right to me (though happy to retract later on.)
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    does the charge represent the, or any loss to the car park owner as a result of your stay?
    do you think this charge is fair?

    some of them have rules that ban going off site, ie:- its for the customers only , so maybe you broke that rule, or the overstaying rule ? (or both rules)

    Or some other made up, unenforceable rule?

    Agreed - fishier sounding than your MSE name. ;)

    I had 2208 other names before this. They didn't sound right.

    They think you might be posting to wind people up just for the halibut.
    Be happy...;)
