Just wondering if anyone has received a parking fine at Silverburn and successfully ignored it?
Wife got one when she nipped in with the nippers and I can't help feeling compelled yet conned to pay.

She parked in a disabled spot due to the lack of P & C spaces.
Now while I can't condone what she did, I can understand her frustration as quite a lot of people park in P & C spaces sans kids. She on the other hand was fully loaded and single handed.
Now if this was a proper council parking fine I would hold my hand up, stick it in my pocket and withdraw my wallet however, I feel that these private parking companies are vultures preying on the unaware niaeve public.
We have 10 days to pay the £30. Then it increases to £60. I know it's only £30 but it fucking chokes me to hand it over.

Aye, I was expecting a comment like that!
Just think these jokers are coning it in.
You don't work for a Private Parking Company do you onyirtodd?

Just out of interest (I've never been any closer to Silverburn than the bus stance), are the doors to the shopping centre wide enough to get a car through? Why didn't your wife just drive straight in and up to the door of the shop she was heading for? No need to worry about parent & child or disabled signs in there.

(Speaking from experience here!) How do you imagine a disabled person who cant get in to shop or the loo might feel?

If you are trying to get a rise out of me, it won't work. I've already stated that I don't condone what she did and she doesn't make a habit of this, she was just unlucky. You obviously havn't tried to deal with a set of twins and a 4yo with the shits.

I think I'm going to draw a line under this one. Rest assured that the fine will be paid.
