Got a parking fine.
£100
For parking in a 'clearly marked permit holder only' space. Except I wasn't, I was parked in a clearly marked Patient Parking space at a private hospital.
I phoned the hospital who told me that this happens all the time and that they'd cancel the fine - they didn't check if we were legitimate patients.
I can only assume that they, and the parking firm - Parking Eye - make shit loads of cash from this ruse.
