How does the car park know my name?!!

I am away at the moment. Used a car park in the town I am visiting.
It is a pretty rough car park. Unmarked ‘spaces’. Really just a fenced off area in the town. There are clear signs that it’s a car park and notices to pay and display. Definitely no ANPR equipment on driving in or out. No barriers at all. The pay machine takes only cash.
When I bought the ticket it printed out and has my first name printed on it. Twice. Spelt correctly.
Not a very unusual name but definitely a female given name that has spelling variations. Think ‘Clair’.
How did the machine know my name? !

Thanks. That’s what I thought but there is no ANPR. Plus I didn’t put any information in to the machine when I paid cash.

ANPR cameras are very sneaky and sometimes you would have no idea they were there... but if you paid cash for the ticket and didn't put your car reg in...

Then it's a mystery... and we might need scooby and the gang to sort it

I think you’ve got it! It must be Kathy who put her name on all the tickets. Why?
Everyone who is named Kathy will be flabbergasted and everyone else will be confused.
That picture on the Facebook page looks like the car park.
I love Mumsnet.
