Exactly JenniferEccles . Our local hospital uses them too, crikey knows how much they must make in over payments and fines.

Oh yes those awful number plate recognition set ups. Dreadful things.

And they wonder why people are deserting town centres.

In our case we have to type our car registration number into the machine before we get a ticket.

Pompous old git !

This used to happen a lot in our town centre and local hospital until they installed those vile number plate recognition camera systems (Parking Eye, the biggest con merchants in the history of forever) so we are now unable to gift unused and paid for parking time to another motorist. In fact woe betide if you enter the car park and can't find a space which often happens as Parking Eye will have you on camera and a fine will follow.

Nannyme ☕️?

We have a council carpark behind our local shops, used to be free. It now charges, it is common practice that we pass on our tickets, although we all know that the tickets are non transferable. Perhaps he was having a bad day.

Oh dear, Nannyme. What bad luck to get some holier than thou individual, instead of someone who would have been pleased and thanked you.

People have always been grateful when I have done what you did, and I am equally pleased when a ticket is offered to me.

Don't let that miserable man put you off doing it again.

It is illegal you know.
Tickets are not transferable.

This morning I managed to get my shopping done quite quickly and had an hour left on my parking ticket so I offered to an elderly gentleman, actually I don’t think he was much older than me. He promptly told me in no uncertain terms that he didn’t do that sort of thing and I soukdn’t either and he would pay for his own ticket!, I have come home with my tail between my legs, but I stopped off to buy a nice cream cake to help me get over it!!
