i went to a gig last night and parked on a road outside...

the sign said '8pm - 6am parking' (i got there at 9pm and left at midnight)

then it said permit holders only on a seperate sign underneath.

being a shit sign, do you think i should appeal...

or its only £35 if i pay in a week....would it be best if i just pay that?

f**king council bastards.

they must have been hidden in the bush waiting for me coz i left my car at 5 to 9 and it said they started writing the ticket at 9:02

grrrrr

:(

its prob best just to pay the £35 cause if u appeal they may want more, cause of the time it takes

Yeah there sneeky nice people. They loiter about waiting to give people tickets.

bastards!

i did exactly the same outside paddington tube station. parked on a side road, it said that it was free after 6.30pm i was there at 8, come back and drive home. see a ticket under my wipder when i got home (they hid it pretty well) it was £60 though :( i parked across the road apparently that was the permit holder section.

tw@s!

i got one last week, paid to get into a multistorey car park, drove to the top floor which was empty, parked it across 2 spaces between 2 pillars (didn't want anyone squeezing up next to me) did my shopping, came back 30 mins later, top floor still completely empty with a big parking notice stuck to my windscreen for £50! what a piss take, i'd paid to park there and it's not like i'd stopped anyone else from parking!

the sad tw@ must have walked all the way to the top just to ticket my car!

surely not? the parking markings are purely a guide, you cant get a ticket for parking badly??????

dear god, some people are pathetic.

imagine how fucked off they would be if someone done it to them!

i hate the stupid men

i reckon ill just pay it and play safe...good job i get paid today!

lol they are sad...... i thought it wasn't all on comission no more as well. the way they bang tickets on cars you would have thought they were doing it for extra cash! bloody hell!!!! :@

So they say but it obviously is commission based.

Pay the ticket ASAP and write a formal complaint against the parking attendant if you want but there isn't a lot you can do.

Parking wardens are scum.

yeah, i dont really think i can be bothered with the hassle.

ill send them a letter with just a plain piece of paper in the envolope saying 'C**TS'

reckon they get a lot of that?

id love to do it

Send them a bill for your time.

Has anyone ever seen parking wardens give another parking warden a ticket? The term looking after your own doesn't apply here.

The car park around the corner has two wardens every hour. For some reason one of them drove in, didn't buy a permit and got a ticket from the other warden whilst he was working. A happy man he was not.

hahah! thats brilliant.

perhaps the one that got the ticket will learn to be a little nicer to people now.

i think as long as your not parked on a main road, in someones driveway, in the middle of the road or infront of an entrance you should be allowed to park where you like. firt come first serve and all that!!

i got one a while back. it was one of the machines that gives the tickets you rest on the dash. it clearly had blown across the dash when i shut the door and landed, right way up on the passenger seat. still had to pay the fine. idiots

i parked outside central station in exeter for 2 mins whilst dropping my mates dj equipment into a club at 10.30.

WJ PARKING!

100 of my hard earned. 70 minimum!

such a piss take.

then the next day, got pulled for speeding.....

53 in a 40 at 2am!!!

3 points and another £60 fine! ouch!

Sorry, doesn't matter what time it is, the 40 applies whether it's 2am or 2pm.

Not that it's annoying getting caught at that time...

could you not just send the ticket to them to proove that you did pay and display. the ticket shows the date and time so they should have let you off!

the worst i had was a speeding ticket (i went to the speed awareness course for this so not points but 60 fine)

then i got pulled for bein on my mobile at 3 in the morning got 60 fine and 3 points

then i got the ticket outside paddington station

:(

all within 2 months

and they say things come in 3's

ha, in the service yard the wheel clamper got clamped! priceless!

oh and another one, i was parked in a pay and display car park in my old rallye, waiting for a mate after 3-4 mins ticket inspector knocked on the window 'nice car mate but you have to but a ticket' sorry mate but i'm waiting for a mate - engine running might i ad!

'you're parked in a space you have to buy a ticket or i'm going to fine you!'

bollox i told him i'm not leaving the car, anyway a few choice words later i pulled out of the space and sat in the middle of the carpark (not in a space) so not parked! jobsworth tw@!!!!!

pay it and be done with it mate.....move on from it...i got one at college about a year ago,i watched him put it on whilst i was going for my dinner.....

scummy fuckers :p

they're losers. they're on about 6 pound an hour, so have to try and 'big' their job up a bit by pissing people off. Bitter twats.

i parked up 2day, and paid for an hour at 1.17, walked across the car park and saw the warden giving someone else a ticket (a polo i myt add lol) i glanced at the time of his parking ticket and it ran out 1 minute before at 1.16!! now that is a pisstake!

Pay it. First port of call, to avoid the fine increasing, £35 isnt bank breaking.

Then if you feel it was unfair, appeal. If you're successful you'll get the money back.

i even took the warden up to the car to show him. he told me to show them at his offices. they told me to send copies to the council. still no joy.
