It’s the same with the Parking ‘Ticket’ Mafia, 1 minute over or park in the wrong place (which is very easy to do in London as the signage is totally confusing)and hey presto you are £60.00 light or £120.0 if you challenge it!! The ‘law abiding’ motorist is a easy target for cash withdrawal..!!

Don’t, I totally understand your anger on this score. It’s like when it first started out it was £10, my brother went online to pay it on the day he incurred it like a dutiful fella, only to find it was now £20 as it was after 10pm or 9.30pm or something. Nowhere obvious in the spiel to promote it was this little fact mentioned. I was so angry. This kind of nonsense makes me want to go to the homes of the powers that be and extract £20 or in your case £60 worth of stuff out of their freezer or from their wallets, and simply say ‘ see how you like it’ and walk out.. x

Due to my occupation, there is many an occasion when I have to go into the zone at short notice, thinking i’ll pay it online when i get back to the office. Of course like many, i have a pretty hectic working day and before you know it i’ve even missed the second day to pay. I did write a letter asking why they couldn’t implement a system which automatically warned or debitted me. The aswer I received back was along the lines of, it would prove too costly and they were dedicated to saving Londoners money. Hmmm

Does this mean that the uni cycling isn’t going as well as planned, or was it one of those days when a uni cycle just doesn’t have that much needed, extra boot space ?

We travelled round England by car for our holidays this year but foolishly decided to pick a hotel within the congestion charge, which was already charging £20 per night for parking.Okay I knew there was a congestion charge in place but not to the amount of £60 which was revieled to my horror, then a couple of days later I was stung for another £60!!! They must have a little giggle to themselves when they catch people who havent a clue how the charges work!
