I like the second link under that story about someone taking refuge at a Moto Services in bad weather and later finding themselves chased by debt collectors...
Of course, The Guardian just poimts out that there were signs (probably totally obscured in the blizzard)...
The charge was cancelled, but it's just another example of totally unreasonable behaviour by the parking "industry".
But, as we all know IT'S JUST ABOUT THE MONEY.
