mike84 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 There has been a thread on this before. Don't pay the 'invoice' because the company can not enforce it. Just ignore all corrispondence from them. Nothing will come of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*binty* Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Last time i was there i'm sure the sign said either 1 or 2hrs on it? Jesus, 20 mins, that's silly. Are we supposed to pretend we're on Dales Supermarket Sweep or summat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 god knows how they think you can do your shopping in 15 mins you can't. It's just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal3549 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I seem to remember it being an hours parking limit. Must have changed very recently... PS As stated above - do not pay, plenty of info on these parking charges on other threads, and dedicated web sites all about how they're unenforcable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 15mins?? WTF surely that cant be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vader Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I believe, after reading an article on the net about such a scheme elsewhere, as soon as Farm Foods there work out how much this ridiculous parking sham is hitting them in the pocket, they will have to rethink their associations with "parking companies", along with Meadowhall, Meadowhall Retail Park, and Wickes in Sheffield.
