What ho peeps
just wondering if anyone else got scammed tonight by the specials on sundown drive ? We had a minor fallout with the jobs worth knob head who insisted our vehicle was parked in a dangerous position ..which it wasn't !
so .. no yellow lines
no do not park here notices
so no indication that you were breaking a law of any kind in any way
AND we were instructed to park on sundown drive by the marshall at the castle ..no mention of a car park whatsoever !
However the ticket says "dangerously parked " which is shite as we really were not !
when we arrived back to the motor there stood 5 ! yep 5! ticket issuers ..seems like they had to call in reinforcements ( as I know one of them was supposed to be having the night off !) . I admit to being a bit peeved and a bit vocal then the special got a bit arsey with me and called for a REAL copper to intervene . Incidentally Mr Arsey was PC 6486 . If you happen to be reading this that's not slander or libellous !
So anyway wont waffle but when I asked him how many people had been issued with tickets on that road ( in 20 mins) he replied with some venom "12 sir!" ..and that was only in the 1 hour total we had been at t'castle !..lord knows how many peeps have been caught out not just today but all through the wet car park week .
Anyway I'm crying foul and not paying but electing to go to court maybe even get it in the newsletter or something . My thoughts are that we aren't the only poor saps who have been hit with this increasing the revenue stunt . so would be pleased to hear from anyone else who has been had by this blatant con trick and would urge you all NOT to pay the fine !
GRRRRR
