Try and calm down BM...your hubby can look into it tomorrow. It's very annoying, you weren't to know there was a match on tonight but your health is more important than any fine on whatever, so just relax and take a deep breath

Re: really fed up


I have friends that live in Islington and the I usually go over there on a Sat night and stay there till Sunday afternoon (which is supposed to be free parking)... the amount of times I've had tickets because of match days you wouldn't believe and as I'm also not a fan of footy I NEVER know when it's match day!! I just believe they don't put up signs because they know they can make so much money from the tickets!!

Re: really fed up

anyway paid it now,going to get rid of the car plenty of buses about.and if we need a car we will hire one. its getting too hard to try n keep with in the law.cameras watching EVERY move u make
and when we left the office didnt even say thankyou,and normally im always saying please n thankyou,but i was being as ignorant as she was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
