I agree that the Arndale car park is a nightmare to use. I have only a small car and have got uptight the few times I have used it.
I recall that when the Arndale was built, the council stipulated that the development included 'x' number of parking spaces. The developer crammed that number into the smallest possible space so that there was more left for retail outlets.
Result---- nightmare carpark which leaves you feeling like a limp rag and in no mood for spending or returning.
