So, there is a cake shop not far from where we live. It is in a row of shops set back from the High Street. There is a two hour parking limit Infront of the shops for customers and parking at the rear of the shops for the shop owners to use. There is a van that belongs to the cake shop which is clearly marked with the shop info...name etc ... This van was out selling cakes People from the shop went to a local supermarket for suppliers..... obviously they buy in bulk quantities. They were in a private car belonging to someone from the shop They drove to the customer part of parking and unloaded the car. Then they put the items away and started selling in the shop. A parking warden came around, and noticed the car had been there more than the allowed 2 hours and put a parking ticket in the windscreen The cake shop owner is not happy. Put the saga on FB. Wanted the local MP to do something about it. As far as I understand it. It was a private car in a parking area for more than two hours which went over the allowed time. They got a parking ticket. I think that is the right thing I think they should have moved the car when the unloading was done. Or Put a note in the window explaining they were unloading and stating which shop it was. Anyway ..... What do you think ?

@Traceyjayne I was clearly at fault but didn’t know it. Didn’t do it on purpose

I think they should have gotten a ticket. It seems pretty clear to me.

@AmbiePam. It seems very clear to me too . I don't understand why she was sneaking such a fuss. She is saying it's a two hour limit and they went over that .....so why cause a fuss about it !

@traceyjayne They were parked illegally so they must pay and must not park thusly again. Not complicated at all.

Yeah rules are rules, they knew the limit and just didnt bother moving the car after. Bit rich dragging the MP into it tbh, thats not really their job. Should of just used the staff parking round back like everyone else does.

I think if they really violated the parking lot rule they should get one, and they don't need to post about it - its arrogance. I wonder why people play victims when they don't! And the audacity to rant on social media about it.
