    A car was seen coming out of our local Morrisons with a man closely following with a large umbrella. He was obviously concerned about the boot getting wet!

    One thing the Mail has not highlighted is the question of patient confidentiality when they get a fake fine from a hospital car park . This could happen if the driver is not the RK, there is no windscreen ticket, and the first anyone knows about it is when a letter drops through the door addressed to the RK.The driver may not have wanted the RK to know about this hospital visit, So this is a serious breech of patient confidentiality.

    The Mail likes to keep it simple and would probably consider a scenario like that a bit too complicated for its readers to get their heads around. There are even some posters here, who should know better, who don't understand it and don't think there is any breach of confidentiality.

    Yes, put that on your car it'll be like a red rag to a Bull, it will just attract a ticket.
    First thing any Parking attendant is taught, is "Ignore any notice on the car, as you cant prove which is genuine".
    Loads of advice on here & elsewhere as to dealing with "unfair" tickets.

    I will put one on my car! There you go local PPCs somewhere in West Sussex, now you can spot my vehicle and if you see it at the park & ride near the Amex you'll have found me!

    For any PPCs that may have trouble understanding this post, I'll translate it;
