The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

The companies that run these are total *astards.

A few months back we got a £60 at our local hospital.

Car park was rammed and there were a few spaces as far from the hospital as you could get - not ideal as Mrs SD was visiting with a painful foot problem that made her limp.

We parked the car, got the ticket & displayed it properly.

Got back and the car had been ticketed and a £60 fine had been issued.

Apparently this area was overflow staff parking only.

The only signs were very small plates high in the air - not where you are looking when trying to find a space in a busy car park.

Genuine error on our part, no attempt to avoid payment but they were totally uninterested in our appeal.

Suggested that they should make it clearer what that part of the car park was for eg spray painted 'sign' on the ground or a notice at the pay and display stations but got no response.

Googled the company and they have literally thousands of complaints cited.

Utter scum.

Agree 100%.
When Sue was in hospital and I was in and out with my problems I bit the bullet and booked taxis. 18 quid round trip but no pressure. Only problem was phoning for the return trip......they are fully booked by local schools.
It's a no win situation.

Builders have been in doing the last of the snagging. They did a tidy job, very happy.

Good lord. £16.00 for 2 pieces of fish and 1 Portion of chips. Its a good job we don't have it very often.

Still I did see a white maserati and a bag of rubbish that had been thrown out of a car window.......

I don't buy from chip shops, but the other day I was told that a large cod was £7.50

Oh nearly forgot, I have an intercom on the main front door down stairs and sometimes I can't hear it....and it it set on loud
The other day I took the cover off to have a look at the buzzer, down loaded the manual to see what voltage it was.....
great 12v looked on ebay 12 v 100db £3.49 that will do, it came today tried it out.................I'm sure it will wake up someone in the next block

For that money I'd want Richard Harris to sail his fishing trawler into my front room and have a fight to the death with Orca, the Killer Whale.

Most properly we have to buy the fish off the French
