Hi folks,
Iv'e just heard about someone being charged with a £40 penalty in a hospital car-park
What is going on ?
The NHS, I was lead to beleive, is a state thing, paid for by my & yours 9% income tax. Another one !
When visiting my Dad, I shoved the two quid in the machine, but was informed later that it went 10 minutes over the printed time, so therefore liable to a £20 penalty
Daft!
I did not pay it. And received no further threats from the car-park people engaged by the local Health Trust.
A few moons ago, my freind dropped me off at A&E, after a motorbike accident.
I got fine treatment, and thanks to the pro. folks there, all is well, but he had a ticket within minutes for £10, for saving the health service the cost of an ambulance vehicle & crew.
Where is the sense in that episode ?
I fail to understand.
Any suggestions?
Bob.
