Beware Sainsbury's parking fine after 2 hours

[Passiflora]

Probably Horizon have got in on the act as they know a CPZ will come into effect in the area? Looking at the strange website it's charging ?60 a month for people to use East Dulwich train station.

Or could the new Argos have a say in the parking situation? Who knows?

Do the staff get free parking?

Can't really understand why anybody would spend 2 hrs in Sainsbury's anyway, even with a coffee in Starbucks.

what is being discussed is called a Parking Charge Notice because it is issued by a private company on private land. It is therefore a civil claim rather than a fine. If it is correctly issued by a company entitled to get your details from the DVLA and the notices are correctly displayed etc then you can be taken to court for debt and bailiffs can call to collect it.

Not weekends though - that's when we 9to5ers do our shopping :)

I do every time :) - about a ?100 spend.

If my childhood experiences of waiting for goods in Argos are anything to go by, more people might be subject to fines once Argos opens in Sainsbury's -though I'm hopeful that they're much quicker these days. Think I lost much of my teenage years waiting for 'Elizabeth Duke' jewellery!
