This may not be the place for my whinging but, Those verminous money grabbers at the council apply a stealth tax upon us 'normal folk' to our leisure time by charging us for parking on some (often poorly maintained) car park (often it's just a bit of rough ground) and probably use that money to pay for ex council employees pensions to the tune of thousands per year.
Personally, I take an exceptional dislike to paying out my hard earned cash in stealth taxes on my leisure time and (sometimes) refuse to comply with the 'rules'. I'm a bad boy and make no exuses for that fact, I simply hate being taken for a mug by those council leeches.
Councils are charging so much for parking that these ticket machines are a target for criminals and such so their now trying to make a lot of them card only machines......or is that just a scheme to keep the poorest folk (like me) away?
