which to me is fair enough. I sometimes park where I shouldnt, BUT if I get a charge then thats a risk I am happy to take, I used to park in a hotel carpark opposite heywards heath hospital when I was undergoing checkups every couple months for example, and If I get caught I reckon all the times...
it appears the OP (or his friend )parked there for 20 mins why shopping in Patcham, didnt use the pub, didnt read the big sign as you enter , didnt see all the cameras, didnt see the signs elsewhere in the car park (see previous posts and pics) and feels he shouldnt have to pay- I think thats...
Given that there is no mention of why his friend feels he has been scammed, I also thought perhaps he had parked outside whatever the rules were for parking there
Usually , if the friend has legitimatly parked they would mention it.
Someone may disagree that they are being charged for parking...
