You silly people, if you want to know something, ASK! Years ago when I had the privilege of working with a renowned Judge, before he became a judge. He told me and I have never forgotten it. YOU DO NOT ASK A QUESTION, UNLESS YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. It has stood me in good stead and it has enabled me to put down many LA officers. Some have taken early retirement (with or without a golden ...

plod, you are getting clever in taking others around in circles,  but in a thread you poasted earlier " Bournemouth Borough Council has an ANPR "approved device" that can be used for parking enforcement under the Traffic Management Act 2004. The approved device certificate number is PADM 058. The device is currently used to enforce bus stops and school keep clear markings. There is no law that ...

Once again plod is wrong., this is how it works. You go into a car park in the City of Exeter, you opt to pay by phone. The tarriff charge is £2 and that is all you pay, you do not pay a convenience charge for the service. The company that operates this service, will then invoice ECC for the number of people that used that service. If the tarriff is £2 then that is what will be shown on the ...

Just noticed on a machine in a Teignbridge owned off street car park, that there is a 20p convenience charge. Anyone know why Teighbridge charge double what Exeter charges for the same service. And does anyone know whether or not, Teignbridge absorb the charge.

Someone has called it a "convenience fee", but that convenience ...

If they said that supermarkets could only sell British produce post - Brexit, it might help. I am told (No proof mind you), that ASDA milk is the produce of France. If it is true and they would have to tow the line by only being able to sell British produce, would it create a milk shortage here, or is there a surplus that we know nothing about at the moment. They say if there is no murmor from the ...

Prices stated are misread most of the time. £5.99p is closer to £6 than it is to £5. Regarding the P&D Their pricing is deliberate as they know that not many people carry the correct change and they know that if you try to pay less, thet may still get you to a situation where they keep the change. I challenged this situation many years ago. Reply was, machines would need to be much bigger, be ...

As I have never used ringo or pay by phone, I wouldn't have a clue as to wether or not there is a charge on your card if you use that service. I believe there is, but those that use the service will know for certain and will be able to tell us.
