Anyone fancy a peaceful protest outside PPMs offices?

    @DownwithPPCs Have you watched last year's Channel 5 documentary with Alex Conran called Parking-The Big Con. It features our very own Coupon-mad and Bargepole.

    https://www.channel5.com/show/parking-the-big-con
    Alex Conran is covering Storm Huntley's slot on Jeremy Vine (channel 5). He will be talking about scams. He has not been on yet but is one of the three people covering Storm's maternity leave.

    It's only temporarily withdrawn.  We'll be back...!

    Registered offices are shells, usually, not likely to be the real offices of parking firms.
    Only some have actual offices- OPS are in a converted garage bolted on to a scruffy house, UKPC have quite flashy offices in Wooburn Green in Bucks which they like to flaunt in their LinkedIn profiles - but most are just registered to addresses. I wouldn't have issue turning out to a peaceful protest, but don't feel it would achieve much unless it was in relation to a particular case of social injustices like when it's an elderly or disabled or mentally impaired person and they refuse to show any empathy or stop cranking up the pressure. I'd definitely show out to one depending on the numbers/ purpose/ specific aims. Like if there was a peaceful one at Westminster. It would be nice to meet some of you in person at the least.

    Thanks for that. They did mention on the show that he would be discussing scams. There will be the opportunity to phone in. 

    Alex will take over Storm's slot. Jeremy Vine  does announce at the start of the show what topics are up for discussion. I would imagine that parking is going to feature at some stage.
