    Don't be surprised if you get clamped and have to
    Pay a release fee. Moral?

      Buy a 20p Sun there and enjoy 2 hours free parking without any feeling of guilt?

        In order for me to put it to rest, it would need to be established that you actually had one! And there has been scant little evidence of this.
        However, as you are essentially carrying out an illegal act, expect to be clamped sooner or later.

          I shop there regularly, it's on my local High Street, so I am their customer for sure and this is customer parking ...

            Frankly your business nouse nil.

            If you owned a sandwich shop and heard that the council across the road had £500 to spend on sandwiches. You'd go 'bastards!'

                Jeez, you lot don't get any better do you?

                In all the noise, Centurion's point that the official language being used against people that seek to minimise their tax bill is as hostile from the current administration as it was from the previous one, is passing you by.

                I think the foundations are being laid for making what has long been perfectly acceptable to become unacceptable. I would be worried about that if I were you.

                That reminds me. I have to get a tax return off to Hector sharpish. I owe £0 but I still have to send one. I'll probably get a £100 fine now.

                    I thought they don't pay back more than a fiver?

                      Dixons Duty Free is not really duty and VAT free. Although they sell cheaper than the high street you will still get a VAT reciept so you can claim an extra 17.5% back.
