    Grr parking tickets

    Agreed to come in late and stay late today at client to do some out of hours work. Staying overnight here as well.

    What I didnt reckon on was no parking at the train station. Usually, when I go in (730) there's tons of spaces - 9am train bugger all space.

    In the end it was a case of stick on double yellow or miss the train. Calculating the cost of an hours work missed sitting on the train station and winding the client up by rocking up an hour later its worth taking the hit.

    Sympathy please if I get a ticket. (Saying that tons of people seem to park on this road every day - I dont - and never seem to get ticketed)

    Surprised that NCP at station was rammed full. £9 a day so for the two days = £18. Rather take my chances at £35 for a parking ticket!

    Used to work in city centre. Was about £9 a day to park so I used to park on double yellow. Got a ticket about once every 3 weeks so quids in really. (it was £30 then - its £35 now I think).

          Often the reason is to make money from motorists.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    Not had ticket for years. Generally dont park on yellow lines.

                    Surprised to find that its still only £35 (if you pay up within 14 days). Bargain.
                    Like I said, not going to miss an hours billing for that.
