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:
Having appealed 4 parking fines over Christmas (one of them I did deserve, but appealed on the basis the sign was partially covered up - the other 3 was due to NCP not being arsed to check I had paid by phone), I would say appeal it. How many hours would you have to work to pay off that fine?'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good'0 -

They all say Bronze, whatever that means, and there are 7 of them ranging from 20p to £10 and they total £18.90 which is right. Don't know why they split it up.
They come in the same denominations as banknotes and coins, ie 1p to £50, and you don't need to use them all at the same time

That's for me to know and you to find out......I went through my entire childhood not understanding the meaning of that:o:rotfl:
