    it is disappointing that so many mugs pay up in a 4 month period to provide the PPC with TEN GRAND of illegally gotten gains

    If only there was a way of tapping into this stupidity.

    It does indeed astonish you just how many people are totally stupid and think they have got some kind of official parking fine.

    That is because most people consider themselves law abiding citizens and fear anything that says or threatens 'court' because they think they will be made out to be criminals.


    While most people who regularly comment on these threads know that it's a scam and people should fight the charge and not pay, the average Joe does not and to be honest fighting the charge can be a chore even with help for a first timer.
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!

    This was in Scotland where the extent of fighting required would've been to walk a few paces from the doormat to the litter bin.

    No doubt Onesie still believes that parking lie did nothing wrong. It probably shocks her that diners took so long to eat their meals.
    I was going to highlight this scandalous 'mistake' on Aldi faceache page but it seems I may have been blocked.....again.
