Parking ticket or not, your thoughts?

Hi, I know I should have been more careful but just looking for honest thoughts on this?
I parked today in a B&M car park, 90 minutes for customers. I admit yes I went into town for a few bits and then went to B&M to justify the parking. Spent £8 in B&M so well covered any balance in exchange for parking in their car park for 90 minutes. Due to delays in the B&M shop (we went there last)I ended up running very very fine in getting out of the car park. So fine in fact that according to my dashcam, exactly 90 minutes to the second from entering the car park entrance to leaving at the exact same spot.
My only hope is that I have bought a couple of seconds before being detected further down the access road and the same in leaving.
If the fine is issued I will accept, I've done before but run out of luck maybe this time.

If this is a private car park then you will not get a fine.Maybe consider not abusing parking spaces in future though.Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid2

There should be a 10 minute grace period.
Either way, you should know better than just paying up if you’ve read the post and stickies on here.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.1 -
The OP should never accept what a PPC says and seek a reality check via MSE regular posters
Suggesting the OP is abusing private parking is a little ironic .
They dont even have a invoice yet .....
PPC,s are not Authorities and are unregulated robo claimers meaning they spout non stop bolly olly which they certainly do .
Private parking isnt about managing parking at all its about illiciting money by threat of CCJ to the tune of a billion per year .
Its obviously all about the money nothing else and the manipulation used to get it is very very dirty .
At no point is a service provided ...in laymans they are robo scammers but sewer rats is actually more fitting personally.
The OP needs a reality check on the bigger private parking picture which is possible on here as the regular posters (not myself) are experts on this .
Read up as much as possible to get the bigger picture .
