So, where do you park?
We went to a car park but we were too big for all the spaces and the rules about overhanging the white lies made us too scared to risk getting a ticket.
We found another park and the sign said that motor homes were welcome.
But the section at the end said they were not! So we had no choice but to park in one of the coach bays - coaches only - that is what was painted on them!!!
But it said motor homes welcome, and it also said no motor homes specifically on the small car sized bays so what were we to do? Luckily we got back to the van in time, and the man who was just about to write us a ticket explained that as we were in the coach bay we were supposed to pay the coach tariff. Well, that was entirely unclear on the signs, so we went and purchased a second ticket for an additional £1.50 and he let us off the fine. Which was quite decent of him.
So today we went to out. We couldn't even get in the car park, but found a coach park close by. It had signs saying no cars, no caravans, no trucks no camping etc.... but not no motor homes. Se we risked it, and actually it was fine. Although I am sure we would have got a ticket had an inspector arrived.
But this started an interesting conversation. Where DO you park? You can't use a car park as you overhang and get a ticket. You can't use coach bays and you can't use parking meters at the side of the road you are too big! So, what is the answer?
