In the Motorhome. Pulled into a motorway service area a couple of weeks ago; early on a weekday morning. Had breakfast, walked the dog, got a paper. Hung around for a little while reading it. The area had really fast broadband and Katie needed it for a school project so we were in no hurry. Left the car park, went to the filling station, filled up, washed windscreen, checked oil, purchased oil, added oil, added windscreen washer etc....
Anyway, yesterday I got an official looking 'fine' of £100 for overstaying by 40 minutes. Complete with 'proof' via a photo showing us enter and leave the premises with a 2:40hr gap. Though I was probably only actually 'parked' for 10/15 minutes over the 2hour limit. For that, they want £100 or £50 if I pay them quickly Well they can for their money as I won't be paying, just like I've never paid all the others.
I believe these parking companies to be no better than crooks, modern day highway robbery with menaces and if this guy with a couple of law degrees gets lucky, they may get their just deserts http://www.challengethefine.com/blog4.html.
