Vote with your feet. F#%k em. I reckon I can safely say, that that won’t come in down around here. Nobody would stand for that. Are you sure it’s not an early April’s fool.

I’ve waited on 1 occasion 20 minutes at the Templepatrick BP to get Ultimate. A elderly lady came out with her shopping who had put £10 of ordinary fuel in. Needless to say I’ve never going back. Wouldn’t have waited that day only I was very very low in fuel.

Don’t bother your head paying any of those private parking “fines”. I got one in Belfast and just ignored the threatening letters. I had a “fine” under each wiper too so I got two letters each time. They gave up eventually. I have advised others to do the same and after about 7 letters they give up. Costs them more than me in the end.
Bullying Tactics! Most law abiding people who get a demand/fine will pay it straight away rather than risk further punishment and this is where the likes of MET make easy money!
And as for the McDonalds/Starbucks parking! Total exploitation of the innocent!
I was working on a job in Belfast and had hired a couple of security guards. The building I was in was on the 5th floor and had a good view of the street below. One of the guards told me that he had just seen a traffic warden write a ticket, put it on a windscreen of a car and take a photo of the ticket in situ. He then took the ticket off and threw it into one of those industrial bins that shops use. I thought he was spoofing until he went down, hoked in the bin and produced the ticket. Needless to say we reported the incident to the Enforcement people.
