I bought a 2 hour parking ticket as I had not much change on me, with the intention that if I needed a further hour I'd get change from the shop and top it up. When I got there, conveniently while I was waiting for a ticket somebody offered me their ticket in a passing car (what timing, I say with raised eyebrows) which I duly took, put it in my car and returned to the tourist area. Upon my return there was a ticket on my windscreen saying I had violated the rules of non-transferable tickets and t was the usual £100/£75/£60 fine I had to pay. I didn't know about the regulations (the mobile internet connection there is appalling) so I thought best to pay up and sort it out afterwards. This was also due to the tall chap trying to be intimidating and arguing with me in the car park. <br /><br />Now far be it from me to suggest anything fishy was going on (oh no, would I do such a thing?) but the guy claimed to have seen me on CCTV when I accused them of watching me, he mentioned that my original ticket was up as well when I'd gone to get another one (it was, hence my return, but unless he had been watching before he wouldn't know that because the old ticket then went in my pocket...), then mysteriously somebody drives past me who's parked, paid, then decided to leave all within 7 minutes. Seems rather convenient but, as I say, far be it from me to suggest anythingTheRosenBridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893000221442847843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-59461266571846986052015-08-25T12:06:30.070-07:002015-08-25T12:06:30.070-07:00Friends of mine had the usual encounter with Mr Ev...Friends of mine had the usual encounter with Mr Evans today ( 25th August 2015) and were 11 minutes late getting back to the car having been delayed by Mr Evans trying to sell them his book!!!. Guess what? They found one of his magic parking tickets on the windscreen wanting £60 up front. Fortunately they managed to leave without being fleeced but until I found this forum for them they were quite upset..

Most likely the weasel told the victim he could 'appeal' to the weasel's own PO box address. Encourages payment, gives false hope and allows the weasel to have a good laugh at his victim's expense.
