Be warned this car park has numberplate recognition. Using the toilets cost me £60 compliments of PARKING EYE.

What was the length of time you were in the car park ? They will have a pic of you going in and one of you driving out with the times on.
 
Im quite sure that entering a Parking eye controlled car park you are entering a contract with them even if you dont actually park up,this is the way forward with these people not that I agree with them.
 
Fair cop then, thanks for the post as it wouldn’t have occurred to me. Probably only gives you say 5 mins to find a space or leave.
 
Another scam along these lines is dropping off people in some airports, you drive in, drop your passengers off & then they have the cheek to charge you to drive out, even though you've only stopped for 30 secs!!

I wouldn't mind but there was no other way to get to the drop point but through their bluddy carpark!

Phill
 
I wonder how long it took the original postser to empty his cassette - I can do it in a couple of minutes tops.

If the ANPR cameras were set that fine then everyone who drove into the carpark, couldnt find a space and drove out would get a fine, as would every person who drove in and found that they didnt have the right change (or had a coin refused by the machine) and drove out and people who used the carpark to turn around (rather than do a 'U' turn in the street)

Is there something we arent being told here?

Agree Liverpool John Lennon taxi wants £4 extra
 
We have a local town centre car park that lets you park for 30 minutes free of charge but you must get a ticket from the machine even if stopping for free for only a few minutes.It's caught a lot of motorists out and is quite a money spinner.It's even worse during the run up to christmas when it gets so busy that motorists are stuck in the queue to get out and were overstaying and getting parking charges racking up whilst stuck in the queue.I wont use that car park.

Yes. How long he was in the car park, I've asked twice but no answer forthcoming.

As there was no relevance in the time I spent in the car park I resisted answering this question. My point was just to get other wild campers not to get caught however long they are there. As I filled up with water from a very slow tap while there it took just over half an hour. So as I have already said 'a fair cop'. exactly how long you can stay before a fine I have no intention of finding out. After an internet search about this car park many people seem to have fallen foul even with a ticket ( which unless kept as evidence is useless ). So I say again BE WARNED.

HAPPY WILDING:dog:

Im sorry but it is highly relevant!

If you had driven into the carpark jumped out emptied your cassette and drove out all in 2 minutes I would have every sympathy with you BUT if you drove in adjust this checked that, emptied your cassette had a chat with the toilet attendant had a quick smoke and driven out 30 minutes later then I have no sympathy whatsoever!

He wasn't seeking sympathy.

Try reading his post again, you might then realise how irrelevant your comment is. He's not looking for your or any body's sympathy, just doing this community a good turn by pointing out this method of surveillance which some might not be aware of. It's what this site is about.
 
He was doing the community a good turn"
how by telling us if we park for 30 minutes in a pay and display carpark we will be fined?

Hi
The wild, fun and friendly community ! sensible people who can read and understand the simplicity of my post will understand that posting anything on this site is pointless if you expect a half intelligent response from more than half of the respondents. It is a great pity that members, and non members, don't just get along with the aims of the group to enhance and promote wild camping at its best and help each other in that pursuit. Many thanks to the those who did respond positively but I for one will not be posting anything here again as it wastes my time when other things are more important like cleaning the roof on the van :lol-053:
