Do you ever feel like you are being persecuted?

Dublove · 5 Apr 2006 at 19:19

I did at 5.30 today. Put my ticket into the card machine in the car park, came back asking for £9 quids. This is funny I thought but no its been upped from £6 a day to a whopping £9.

Also;

Was £1.60 on Sun now £3
Was £2.60 on Sat now £5

No way i'm parking in the streets behind amongst the broken car glass so looks like its back on the mtb for now

Bummer...

Eh?

Perhaps not persecuted but wouldn't you say that is silly money to park in a car park? 4 plus hours at £9.

back up, turn, and out across the nearest flower border/pavement would have been my trick

£9? That's a con

I park wherever I please. I have a great agreement with the local traffic wardens:

"Ticket my car and the next thing you'll be ticketing will be a hospital bed."

/keyboard warrior mode off.

On a more serious note, I feel like I am being persecuted every time I see tax raises or more 'stealth taxes' being employed by the government - e.g. the proposed ID cards and proposed increased taxation for loner-drivers.

George Street in Edinburgh 15 mins parking max and they charge you nearly £3 for the privilage

Find an invisible car park. If anyone questions you, say its invisible.

Or just find a cheaper one. There must be more?

Do you repeat yourself or talk loudly when you're with your mates?

Got called Foghorn Leghorn by one of my mates, eons ago because the more drunk I get the louder I talk :rolleyes:

Started using it as my gaming handle and it stuck, use it for everything now.

Perhaps they think you look like a ****erel

You didnt think that one through. If it was invisible i wonder how long it will take for someone to try to park in the space that looks empty.

Surely that's rubbish. Nowhere in Edinburgh is that expensive to park for 15 mins? If it's the same as all of the other spaces in that permit zone, it will be 60p will it not?
