if i've got to go anywhere where i'll have to pay for parking - i just take the bike instead... Free parking FTW.

(where's bigblackjetcock and the NTBPT crew when you need them!?!?)

I think the message saying 'Change is possible' is good advice for life in general. Very positive outlook for a ticket machine.

I doubt it has any loose change for you though.

Question is, if I let it go to £999.50, will it then go 'round the clock' and back to zero?!!?

At the rate of increase it shouldn't be a long wait.

Still not sorted it then?

Why do you keep leaving it? You will end up paying more in the end? Bring it home...

well it is a fuck up as it had only been there for 2.5 hours. By sorting it I meant ring up the help line and tell them sort of thing

So you keep on leaving your car in there because you will not pay the ticket? Just smash the control barrier up and drive out or even drive through it.

Couple of years ago we got stuck in a car park after going to a late showing at the cinema. The barriers are easy to lift so thats what we did and just drove out. I recommend this

go and get another ticket from the barrier and use that.

Car is out ... realised it was an old ticket from a few weeks back and that I had obviously picked that up, not the new one ... still a bit of a shock to see £750 last night mind ewww!!

I am gonna take it back in another few weeks and see what it is up to ... it takes about 15 seconds to calculate the fee as it is!!

How did you keep hold of an old ticket? The machine gives it back and then the barrier eats it.
