    ALDI, READING which includes a busy pub
    NO Parking firm. They are right next door to Morrisons who use PE and their unreadable signs



    LIDL sign restricting customers to 90 mins
    They seem to be operating this themselves

    If Morrisons are situated on their own land (rather than on a multi-outlet retail park), PE are strange bedfellows - normally Euro Car Parks.

    That's a PE sign - looks very much like their logo at the foot of the notice.

    Signs from Waitrose car park in  Alton at railway station but railway parking separate.  No need to input reg number; no mayhem:  all is calm, all is bright.

    Thankyou!  I know you've never had a PCN but it's great to get pics from everyone who can.  Keep 'em coming!

    I can see a Britannia logo. Do you know if the PCN there at Alton (Hants?) is £70, @Humdinger1?

    Thanks also to:

    @Nellymoser
    @alanjuk
    @patient_dream

    for today's evidence.  All really@Humdinger1

    Newbies and regulars, if you want to help with this evidence for my submission to the Government next month, please see page 6 for what it is I am specifically calling for.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    @Coupon-mad there's no mention of any penalty amount for the Waitrose carpark.  Do you mean in the station car park? I can check next time I go past. Yes, Alton in Hants.

    The signs at the entrance to the Waitrose car park at Alton are a little confusing though...

    The 'pay on arrival ' sign is an APCOA sign for the railway station car park.

    Waitys car park is underneath the shop, separate from station car park (main and overflow with different codes).  I will go and have another look shortly and see what others I can find as there is a community hospital in the town too.

    I know this one fairly well, though I've never bothered to read the details on the signs.  Streetview shows the slight confusion, I assume the spaces on the left beyond the entrance as part of the railway car park.  At the other side of the store, past the roadside bays, there is a SiP car park as well.
