Grr parking tickets

[ZARDOZ]

Maybe we should all keep a tin of black paint in the car. Park where you like and paint over the lines. Or claim you have a rare disability that makes you think the lines are green and indicate free parking.

Last ticket I got was a couple of months ago but managed to get it cancelled as I had a valid permit as a council gym member but forgot to put it in the dashboard. Got threatening email to effect "next time you won't be so lucky!"

A crafty person might claim to have broken down. They can't fine you for that.

Aye. You do have to prove that apparently.

I don't know why I've just read a thread about someone who *might* get a parking ticket.

Jeesus, is your answer to everything 'UKIP', they are not getting in or will have any influence so their policies (designed to pander to the downtrodden masses) are irrelevant!

It'll be like when all the liberals and hippies thought the messiah Obama would bring world peace. Only without the disappointment when having gained power he failed to deliver.

Agreed to come in late and stay late today at client to do some out of hours work. Staying overnight here as well.

What I didnt reckon on was no parking at the train station. Usually, when I go in (730) there's tons of spaces - 9am train bugger all space.

In the end it was a case of stick on double yellow or miss the train. Calculating the cost of an hours work missed sitting on the train station and winding the client up by rocking up an hour later its worth taking the hit.

Sympathy please if I get a ticket. (Saying that tons of people seem to park on this road every day - I dont - and never seem to get ticketed)

Surprised that NCP at station was rammed full. £9 a day so for the two days = £18. Rather take my chances at £35 for a parking ticket!

Used to work in city centre. Was about £9 a day to park so I used to park on double yellow. Got a ticket about once every 3 weeks so quids in really. (it was £30 then - its £35 now I think).

Aren't you actually taking a chance on £300 or more for a towaway?!

Guess you'll have found out by now, if you get back to the station and find your car has gone.
