    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:

    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 think she is having an affair with the manager to get those whoopsies! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Nah, that's a whole different kind of whoopsie ;)

    *waits for DM to say I've misspelt 'whole'*

    Got my eVouchers tonight, from shop collected Tuesday.

    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:
