    Yes is the answer…

    ...but this thread should not be 8 pages long! EDIT - now 7 as I have removed all my older posts except 1 and 2.

    I am (later this week) going to get every chat removed from this thread and ask the forum team to take it down to one page and close the thread to replies.

    I am about to delete my later replies from half way down page one onwards here - and if the regulars want to do the same it will make the thread shorter immediately and make the Forum Team's split easier!

    All my replies gone! When the forum team have done what you request, I can then delete this one. Will you ask the team to LOCK this thread? It used to work like this some years ago.

    Yes the reference threads like this one used to be locked, but then that prevented people from updating the posts contained therein, so they were opened to allow the information to be kept up-to-date.

  • I am a carer and I parked my car at the Fun Valley parking area. As a carer, I am allowed to park there, but I forgot to provide my car registration details. What can I include in my defence?

    Hi, I don't know if this is still active but my husband has just received a claim form from a parking ticket he apparently got nearly 4 years ago from smart parking out of the blue. Never received any notice or previous letters regarding this that we can remember. Definitely not had anything in the past 3 years since we moved in together.

    We want to write a defence against this but we are struggling with how and what to say.

    Any advice or a template I can use. I am new to mse so navigating hasn't been the easiest.
