Offers us this gem, among others:

I noticed that parking is more closely linked to the festive season than I originally thought –grace is often said, but when we may be thankful before we eat the turkey, in a car park we aren’t thankful for the 5 minutes we are allowed after our ticket expires!

Feel free to comment!

    I have replied, nominating Parking Eye for the "Scrooge Of The Year" award over their treatment of the motorist in the Snowdon Mountain Railway fiasco.

    I bet they won't leave that there for long! :)
    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.

    I'm also slightly disturbed to see a comment disparaging the other comments there from someone including "Coupon Mad" in their user name.

    I can only conclude they are bothered by the statements of fact made in the previous two comments.

    ZG.

    Seems likely - as he's now trying to poke fun at me.

    Unfortunately, he's got no idea what he's talking about. Watch as he brings up my mental health next :D

    And just so everyone here is aware before he does - I have been battling Mental Health issues all of my life, and am currently on anti-depressants. I have Dissociative Identity Disorder which is now at a sub-threshold level, and Severe Clinical Depression.

    The former makes me good at my job, and able to compartmentalise, the latter is just unfortunate, and fully controlled by my medication.

    No sympathy or happy thoughts required - I'm in a very good place in my life, and this forum helps immensely.


    Merry christmas, four and all. :rotfl:

    It is interesting that he has jumped ship to the IPC.

    What that idiot doesn't seem to realise is ... he is actually libelling the people he is pretending to be. And I bet all those comments come from the same IP address. ;)

    Perhaps they read post #8 in this thread? ;):D

    Edit: It seems Perky is still at it. :)
