We went out tonight for a little pre my birthday outing. Firstly went and had chinese and everything was fine (food was nice too ;))

However, three of the four cars went and parked in a carpark. We were sat there for about a minute at most, sorting out change and waiting for the other cars to come and park up. (walk to cinema)

A fat bloke comes over and writes down our registration numbers one by one and I watch him in amazement. Conversation goes like this

Me : Excuse me mate, is there a problem
Fatty : Yes you've been here for at least five minutes and not paid for a ticket. The council are getting fed up with people like you
Me : Excuse me? We are going to the cinema
Fatty : You have been here too long. You might get a ticket
Me : A ticket? For what? I am paying to park here.
Fatty : The council are really cracking down on this, why else would they pay me double time to get registrations.

Anyhows be all and end all of it - I got rather annoyed so locked up the car and went to the cinema.

I have kept the ticket which has an expiry time of 01:35..... so thats just under an hour away. The film finished at just before 12 which I also have the ticket for.


Sorry for long windedness and awful grammer, its quite late :)
Do I complain to someone about this or just keep the tickets and wait and see?

Fat loser on a power trip tbh. You have your film stubs and parking ticket so I think that should be sufficent evidence if anything comes of it.

Lol ;) Cheered me up somewhat. Its just really irritating. Maybe he thinks we are a bunch of boy racers or something. I just wanted to go see a film (rubbish film btw ;) )

I guess he was put there by the council as its a council owned carpark. Leave it or make a complaint to them?
 
Well all three of us have our paid for carpark tickets, at a flat rate because it was after 6pm, and our cinema tickets. Hopefully I shall hear nothing. Just does my head in :mad:
