I was done about 18 yrs ago after i returned from living abroad, i always knew it was free parking on arndale, so i parked, was less than 1 hour, they were just writing the ticket out when i returned, so i explained my circs i wasn't aware you needed to use a disc when parking, made no difference, they said and i was done, i forgot now how much but it was late one friday afternoon i was returning to Spain the following day to sell my business yon, But thing was you pay double if yeh dont pay it within a certain time, the town hall i nipped but was too late, luckily i went to my late wifes sister gave her the cash and she paid it for me on the Monday, but since then i very rarely go accy in the car, in fact these days i rarely go accy centre.
