Good link will come in handyHalf_way said:KFC/Mc Donalds/Burger king etc fall under what i call the food to have while you are out, as opposed to places to go out to to get food.On the odd rare occasion i might have a KFC whilst out, but i wouldnt go out to have one, and if driving any distance and needing food anywhere i'd much rather find a local pub just off the motorway than use a MSA ( https://www.justoffjunction.co.uk/ combined with google maps often yields results far better than the offerings at a MSA - even if its a supermarket cafe)As for the sign, what are Maximum parking terms exactly? the picture of the parking charge notice states "Maximum 90 minutes free parking" so its quite clear that they as they were waiting in a queue and not in a parking bay, KFC though the actions of its agents could well be in breach of GDPRAll we can do is offer advice to those caught out by PPCs, hope they will fight back - most people don't - they just want shot of their "fine" but there are knowledgable people out there, and one day a PPC and its principal will meet its match possibly opening the floodgates for people to claim against PPCs and landowners ( jointly) to get their money back/compensation alá the PPI saga1 -
Whilst wholly correct be warned you cannot tell the ignorant so and so's that end up on an ignore list that they are there due to an inane forum rule.Nomad1967 said:
You are correct...thanks for the advice you've gave me..that's why I've come on here for that free help, but you shouldn't think that gives you the right to call folk snowflakes and be arrogant ...you make me sick you jumped up so and so...and stick your advice up your proverbialUmkomaas said:
I wasn't making you so sick when I provided a number of inputs to help you with your problem in your main thread on the forum - in fact you thanked me a number of times for my advice, most of which was being given while I was under lockdown in South Africa. You didn't consider me ignorant then either. Short memories on this forum at times.Nomad1967 said:
Sorry I've had to take advice off people on here because I've only ever had 1 PCN....now where is that ignore button for an ignorant so and so like you...you make me sickUmkomaas said:A few GDPR claims against landowners ( such as KFC franchisees) may sharpen minds a littleYeah, but who's going to do that? Needs more grit and resilience than that displayed by most of the snowflakes who come here who struggle to put anything together unless there's a template, then have to copy and paste it back and ask if it's the correct one.Perhaps you might consider putting in some of the time the forum regulars have given to you by giving your time to advise others on a regular basis. Come and join the Groundhog Day warriors!
Any chance your case might have GDPR/DPA issues? Will you proactively take it forward yourself to try to put a dent in the enemy? Come on .......
If you really want to ignore me, get on with it, it's fine by me, just hope you find that button soon!0 -
There is nothing wrong with calling a person a snowflake when they behave like one, where do you stand on the Foreign Office murals?

This is not the place for debates like that; take it to the MoneySavers Arms or whatever MSE calls it.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Except, C-m, The Arms is now closed until further notice by MSE Towers (apparently for overuse of resources).2

After all the help you've had here, why react like that? As you said yourself, you received free help. Don't bite the hand that feeds else you may find yourself acting like your forum name ... alone in the wilderness.Nomad1967 said:
