Rip Off Britain

Blackpool today, went on West St car park (above BHS). Only needed 30 minutes but had to pay for 2 hours - minimum charge, £2.30. Another example of the establishment ripping off ordinary folk?

It's your own fault for going to blackpool in the first place! You lived there long enough to know what the place is like ;-)

It isn't free this year - costs a pound
That way, a count can be kept of the numbers who used it, and the subsidy will match that usage.
