Prankster Note

AS Parking seem to come to the attention of The Prankster mostly for upside down tickets. If this is the main source of income for Kev, he probably isn't in the right business.This is not proper car park management. A proper car park company would recognise the problem and find ways to solve it, such as printing on both sides, or using tickets which stick to the windscreen.

There are also a myriad of technological ways to solve this.

Happy Parking
