Emergency situation, needed something urgently from hardware store. Pulled up, grabbed what I needed and watched officer start writing ticket. In panic I rushed back outside and explained the situation, needless to say this fell on deaf ears and he carried on writing. I got back in the car to drive off without the item I was in such a rush for (Denso tape to fix a pipe pouring in to my office, not that it matters) when he said the ticket had already been written. Admitting defeat I got back out the car and rushed in to the store. He clearly knew I was in a rush as he took the opportunity to affix his empty PCN envelope to my car for the photo.
I ignored it, as you do, why the hell would anyone chase up a non-existent fine? Stupid move, it arrived in the mail.
I have a few options here:
For clarification, I parked exactly where this black Prius is parked, on a Saturday morning, at about 9:30am, so not even close to outside of parking hours.
What say you motors?

I have a few options here:
- Play the "broken procedure" card and hope they waive it.
- Play the "empty envelope" card and hope they go back to £65 instead of £130 (which I'm more likely to succeed with).
- Pay it all, eat bacon and get on with life (which goes against everything I stand for).
