Car Parks

I've decided I'm going to moan. I do hope you don't mind.

As I type its 9th August 2006. We've put a man on the Moon, I can get on a computer and talk to people instantaneously. I can watch Hedgehogs in someones back garden (highly enjoyable I might add, I've never seen a live one.). I have a phone in my pocket. And heart transplants are almost routine.

But go to a car park and fear will grip you.

The sign will say
1 hour 80p
2 hours £1.60
3 Hours £3
4+ hours get a mortgage (I once asked if my salary could be linked to the cost of car parks in Romford.).

Now you have got £1 BUT, and you just KNOW this is going to happen, the machine will have a little message saying "NO CHANGE" AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It wouldn't be so bad if it would allocate you a pro-rata amount on top of your hour. oh no, invariably it will say = Amount paid £1 departure time 1 hour!! SOB!!

I dislike car parks generally. Ok I appreciate that I SHOULD use public transport but its crap, not always copnvenient etc. And anyway why should I go into a town centre when those profit hungary people at Tesco PLC, Sainsbury PLC or Waitrose will let me park for free? I mean come on I can either pay £2 to park or go into Tesco for zilch? YEAH right.
