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 ;-)

or better still don't go in the car, your a pensioner, go on the bus for free AND it's better for the environment (yes i know you probably havent got a free bus pass for this country)

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.

thats still not bad though Margaret, just think of the cost of petrol and then the parking on top if you go in a car
