might as well have some fun with it.
The way to deal with all this stuff! Even if it gets to the Small Claims Court, this isn't a crim offence - no cloaks, no wigs, no black caps and 'taken to a place of lawful execution' sh1te (not even a CCJ, which many thing is worse than meeting the hangman!). Just fight it, and have fun with it!

Bear in mind that, should VCS decide to pursue this on the basis of the 'no return within x hours' line that this actually constitutes Trespass, ...
Interesting, does that apply to Council tickets as well I wonder?You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
Maybe. But Council tickets have statutory backing whereas PPC tickets are just invoices.0
