As for the ticket i'd moan to the surgery management or if they have a patient and liason service, them.

Parking Eye do not contest popla appeals very often so you'd probably win with a decent appeal but again, that would forgo the opportunity to pay the lesser amount if you lost at popla. However, if you are already thinking of paying the £70 then it essentially a free go to get rid of it. (I do doubt that the NHS gets the higher amount though.)

Fair point, sort it for you

Thanks both of you....although I must say I'd struggle to read all 124 pages of your link henrik.

I think this is possibly only the second parking fine I've ever had. I wriggled out of a fine at a retail park one Christmas as I could show successfully that I'd spent the entire day shopping and eating there .....by producing receipts :eek:........thanks to DM for the advice on that one.
I was able to prove that the store in question had benefitted financially from my visit and that I wasn't just hogging a space.

But this one I'm just going to pay the £40 and walk away from it. I haven't got the time/ motivation/ energy for an argument. There's too much going on in life and it's a niggle I can do without.
I will be like hawk eye in future:rotfl:

Evening all :wave:

What a day. They dont make this caring lark easy. Had mum ready by 12 waiting for hospital transport for her 2pm appt. Had her outside by 2pm, still no transport. So phoned them and they said should be there within the hour. Phoned mums appt place and they said will still see her, they contacted transport and also told them will be with us by the hour. Waited and waited, had to take mum back in again as despite the sunshine and wrapped up in scarves, blankets and thick coat she said she was cold. 5pm mums appt place phoned up and said will have to cancel but can see her tomorrow at 1.30pm. They said they will arrange transport again and will be putting in a complaint to transport.
So hopefully things will go more to plan tomorrow . Fingers crossed:o

When dad used to go for dialysis we quickly figured out that it only worked if we did the transportation there and back, if not he could be out of the house 12 hours for a 4 hour process. When we were told that the transportation was staffed by volunteers we were surprised but they were wonderful but over run with work x

I know what you mean.....especially when I watch the pennies so carefully:o

I don't know how much I save on whoopsies...possibly £10/£15 a time.....but you can't just use the full price as I would never, for example buy fresh basil in the winter, I would use dried herbs. Nor would I buy some of the premium branded stuff or weird fruit:rotfl:

So say 3-4 trips to adsa, the waiting around = about 3 hours. It wont take you that long to appeal the ticket.

(But I know what you mean, sometimes the easy route is priceless.)
