I'll just leave this here so we can all have a nice chuckle on a grey and wet Sunday afternoon....


(Please don't judge me for reading the Daily Mail!)

    I have no doubt if you can afford lawyers, you would eventually get away with charging and suing people for stepping on the lines in paving slabs.
    Same business model.

    "best practice" for who ? you might ask

    they would not be featured in TV programmes , newspapers , forums and the like if they actually were a caring company that did its job properly and within reason

    anpr does not manage car parking, its there to enforce exorbitant invoices to unsuspecting and often innocent motorists, the guessing games at some car parks make it even worse , plus ticketing ambulances, pensioners, pregnant women , seriously ill patients (or dying patients) hasnt helped them win over the confidence of the greater public or critics in their sector

    they remind me of these restaurants on Ramseys food programmes, sticking fingers in their ears and singing lalala, we have a michelin 5 star rating from 2006 to 2012 , when their customers are vomiting in the toilet and being taken to A&E

    or the papers who swore blind they had done nothing wrong in the phone hacking scandal , or the banks who had done nothing wrong in the PPI scandal , I am sure they thought the law was on their side and were members of certain trade and other bodies too

    I am sure that the same things could have been said in Germany before the war, with suitable endorsements from the gestapo and the people in charge

    It is a pity he/she didn't elaborate on how they manage car parks?

    Oh hang on they don't do they, they just penalise anybody who they claim stays too long. Or confused by their systems!

    As an ex-Capita employee I can confirm they are anything but honest 100% of the time. Note here how they fail to mention that there is an appeal ..... then google how often they get into trouble ( losing data sticks is a prime example ! ).

    Also note, Andy Parker's minion didn't have the guts to put their name to the letter.

    Also strange that such an ethical company failed to

    - point out that the charges they levy are not FINES just speculative invoices because they have no right to levy FINES

    - state that the Court of Appeal case is about to be challenged in the Supreme Court.

    Notice how the anonymous spokesman failed to address the salient point of the article highlighted in the headline "Fines for patients who fail parking guessing game"
