    What they are saying In effect is that the ticket issuing chappie is on commission, for every ticket which he issues he gets a payment.

    OK nothing wrong with that on private land, every time a car salesman sells a car he gets a bung, but, what happens if the TIC issues a ticket incorrectly, does he stiil gets his silver pieces, I very much doubt it.

    The salesman would not be paid if the customer agreed to buy a car, but then did a runner and refused to complete the deal.

    Better comparison would be would a chugger get their commission if they got a person to sign up for a regular donation to a charity but cancelled the DD before it was put in force? I believe not.

    OP I do not understand. You say the machine would only accept cash but then go on to argue that this is a free car park. Please explain.

    Good point, DP, missed that one which it was really up to the OP not to copy verbatim.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
