First time I've ridden my new bike to the gymn. Was thinking 'how convenient', easy to get out of the garage, nip to the gymn with rucksack on back, park right outside, an hour and a half later, back out to the bike, some F****** B@RSTARD of a private parking warden has stuck a ticket on my bike. Now admittedly, it was the only bike there and I didn't see the big yellow sign recently erected by the owners of the land, some company in Watford, but since I've been going to that gymn ALL the bikes have parked on this bit of pavement. It's not a thoroughfare. It's a dead end road opposite some fencing, no obstruction whatsoever and I think £100 (£50 if I pay in 14 days) is a bit bloody excessive. The B@RSTARD also said my tax disc wasn't visible. Well, what kind of W@NKER doesn't know where to look for a tax disc on a bike? Clearly visible, brand new not even a speck of dirt on it.
Having just completed Advocacy Skills at college I'm sorely tempted not to pay this one and let them take me to court, at which point I shall argue disproportionality.
Any comments/help here? |
Saving money tip No1
Run to the gym.........by the time you get there you dont need it, saving membership fees.
Saving money tip No 2
Also saving on parking fees...........
Call me a thicky but, is disproportionality the reason why you have to go to the gym?
