I got a thin clear plastic one, beware of small bits of grit getting under it, mine has a few digs in the back of it now.

Look up Ubuntu and chntpw, works a treat.

Yes, this has come up before in my company. Where a memo was sent round to say £10 would be deducted from our wages if we fail to wear full correct uniform. I informed my managers that they can write as many memos as they like, but that doesn't change the law.

Spoke to a company director today, he agreed that parking where i did was of no benefit to me, and that i should have had the opportunity to appeal the ticket before it was paid. So the company are going to swallow the fine. :)

I wasn't given it, but I'm sure I can get it tommorrow, thanks for your help.

It wasn't a warden, it was a camera. I wasn't obstructing traffic, I was actually parked behind a huge bin that is permanently in the road which is as wide as my van.

In the councils website under appeals, it says to provide any delivery note to prove I was loading. What I really want to know is my company liable for the ticket and can they lawfully deduct my wages?

I was collecting around 200kgs of books from a shop as part of my job. There was nowhere else to stop.

I'm a driver for a company, I was informed today of a parking ticket which the company recieved because I parked on a double yellow whilst in a company vehicle on company business. There was no alternative parking area, so the ticket was unavoidable (although I've been stopping here for over a...
