Fair play Tesco

Got a letter in the post from Tesco.
I had parked in their Haddington car park on 26.5.15 and overstayed. Yup i did. parked at 5am and left at approx 10 am.
Then on 27.6.15 I did the same.
Letter states if it happens again I will get a parking charge notice.
Cant say I didnt get fair waning.

    Maybe reply to their letter saying you would have left sooner but the lack of toilet roll prevented you from leaving.

    I suspect your details were got from the nice people at the DVLA, under reasonable cause.

    You could also say; thanks for the threat, I will take it that I am also unwelcome to spend any more money in your failing business!!

    Well there is an irony to that. On return I did a shop both times.
    So a loss for them.
    Im not out that way often,only when work takes me out there.
    Plenty of other parking.

    Ask them how Sir Terry Leahy is doing at B&M & why their sales are up whilst Tesco's sales are down.

  • s'pose while we're all trying our hardest to help people from the darker side of the parking industry, we should be looking at "fairer" systems to.

    I'm not sure it's a great example as he's got PE in there persecuting and suing customers. We've had quite a few B&M cases to deal with over the past couple of years.

    The irony is that in one case B&M were instructed by the landowner to tell PE to cancel a charge (B&M were not the landowner) as they had no right to employ a PPC.

    Oh, did I forget to say that the landowner was no other than ............................. TESCO. :rotfl:
