Google timeline as evidence to Popla

Hi,
I was wondering if I could get some advice or pointers please.
I received pcn for overstaying at Macdonalds by 17 minutes in 90min limit.
It was next to Peppa World and at their closing time so very busy. Honestly I didn't see the signs stating time limit and it was quite dark. It took forever to find parking, order and get out.
I mentioned all of that in the appeal to Macdonalds and Parking eye.
Now I need to send in Popla appeal and I started looking at the evidence. My google timeline shows it is actually only 1hr 9min that I spent there. Not sure how strong evidence is that to get a cancelation?
I only have until tomorrow to do popla so a bit late to go back to parking eye or macdonalds I would think. Unless anyone has any suggestions.
My points for popla:
-Google timeline - deny overstay
- grace period, took around 10min to find a parking place and around 10min to get out
-poorly lit signs, poor signage
-no landowner authority
-no dated pictures provided of signs at the site and locations of them at the time

My first thought is that it is a good idea to use google timeline as evidence.
But then I looked at your data.
This entry......appears to be saying that a drive of half a mile took seventy-five minutes.2 -
Yes use that as evidence.
This isn't right. There are not 2 periods in the BPA CoP right now:
"- grace period, took around 10min to find a parking place and around 10min to get out"
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

@KeithPThank you for taking a look.KeithP said:My first thought is that it is a good idea to use google timeline as evidence.

I know! It's not 0.5m for sure as we drove to another town (Salisbury), so something like 20-30miles, which took around an hour through country lanes in the dark. But I have no idea why it's showing 0.5m....

Thank you @coup@Coupon-mad ! That's appreciated, I will need to look at BPA properly!Coupon-mad said:Yes use that as evidence.

I just wouldn't cite their useless Code.

Just wanted to update you and thank this forum for an amazing advice. I appealed to Popla using the templates shared here and added my Google timeline as well.
Just got an update that the appeal was withdrawn by the operator!
Thanks again, really appreciate all the resources and help given!! 😊
