I am really annoyed. I have recently relocated and found an amazing home bargains a little while away from my house. It's truly huge with cafe and everything. Hadn't seen my mum in weeks and it was my birthday so we arranged to meet there as it was halfway from hers to mine. Did some shopping had a coffee had a lovely few hours out. Then to my surprise I have know received a fine! So has my mother for being in the car park too long?! A picture of me going in and the leaving. Not once had I seen a sign saying there was a maximum time of staying in the 4 times I have been there. The fines are 100 pound each but reduced to 60 if we pat in the 14 days! I feel really annoyed. I spent a hell of alot of money in that shop on that day in particular well over 100 pound and also bought food and drinks in the cafe and now am being fined for being thier too long! If I didn't pay it what can they do? Is there any suggestions to help me?

Genuine or sarcasm, @Hont1986? Hmm

So just to update everyone the parking charge has been dropped. I appealed and sent a copy of my receipts and they dropped it. No issues at all. Dropped my mums too!

@Whammyyammy@Hont1986
😂😂😂 for you who are so concerned about my birthday, My mum was devastated at the thought of not seeing me on my birthday. I had just come off nights and couldn't be arsed to make myself presentable. We are both nurses and work shifts and long hours. I live 2 hours away from her and it was just the most convenient location to have a coffee with my mum on my birthday and be able to get back to pick my kids up from school. But rest assured that was not my birthday gathering and I had a great weekend and a meal out that my mum had to work through. But the trip to home bargains and a coffee with my best friend (my mum) was the highlight of my day!
