Should I Appeal?

Posts: 1 Newbie
I needed to park in Lambeth for two hours and realised I only had enough change to pay to park for one hour so I bought a ticket for an hour and then went to get change.
Six minutes later I returned to the car and bought a second ticket for an hour (but obviously the time displayed wasn't covering the full period). I naively thought the warden would understand that I had paid the correct amount for the time I was parked.
Both tickets were clearly displayed together.
The council rejected my informal appeal but the reviewer seemed to have failed to understand the nature of my appeal:
"I have noted the grounds of appeal against the above notice stating that you had attempted to pay for parking at the location stated above, please be advised that the permits displayed do not cover the period the vehicle had been seen parked so the notice had been issued correctly."
Although by the letter of the law I had failed to show a ticket for the time required I had paid the correct money. Should I formally appeal or is there no point?
