    2nd NSD, bit slow for me. Brother admitted to hospital and had to pay for parking and buy him some fruit, magazine and a notebook, Managed to find a free space on my 2nd visit, bit of a walk away though :) 
    Ah good luck, hope all goes well for him and you. I hate hospital parking so much, it’s been free when attending certain appointments but these days I make a point of being as tight as I can and parking in neighbouring streets where it’s allowed. Can’t believe how much nurses have to pay to park as well! 
    @MrsCautious Yes it seems basically wrong that people have to pay for hospital parking - I understand how stretched the NHS is, but even so xx

    Thank you, he's been discharged thankfully. Hardly any street parking, huge hospital which has time limited or paid on street parking all around the hospital and a multi storey. Nightmare.
