I was pleased 'cos I had reversed parked to perfection. BUT, on closer inspection it was some sort of penalty notice!! If my parking is fine why do they want me to pay them?!?! It makes no sense

They don't really want you to pay them. What they want is for you to ignore the notice so that they can invite you to make a guest appearance in court. They just want to see you in person so that they can shake your hand and congratulate on your impeccable driving skills. Nothing to worry about!

If you are in the UK, then Parking fines issued by a private contractor, such as NCP (National Car Parks) for failing to display your parking ticket, or failing to pay for your space, is recognised in law and you are required to pay for it.
If it is issued by your local authority, ie your city council or county council or by the Police, then you are required, by law, to pay the fine within 28 days to the Magistrates Court or you will be issued a summons to court for the matter, which could result in you receiving a higher fine than that you already have.
"Parking Fine" does not mean that you did a good job on your parking, it means a penalty levied upon you for failing to adhere to the terms, conditions and regulations for using that parking space. If it is yellow and looks official with details as to how to pay the fine, then you should pay it.
If in doubt, ask the parking attendant or pop into the police station and speak with an Enquiry Officer at the front desk who should help you out and explain the matter to you!

I continually leave them switched on. keep away from being wheel-clamped via jacking your automobile up, removing the wheels and locking them wisely in the boot till you come back. keep funds on costly customized automobile quantity plates via in basic terms changing your call to verify your present plate. - Mr. KVL 741Y, A around the corner neighbour's automobile aerial, heavily folded, makes an appropriate coat hanger in an emergency. Drivers. pressing the headlight change for a 2nd time dips the buggers. fool different drivers into questioning you have an costly automobile telephone via preserving an previous television or video distant administration up on your ear and from time to time swerving around the line and mounting the kerb. BUS DRIVERS. fake you're an airline pilot via wedging your accelerator pedal down with a heavy e book, securing the steerage wheel with some previous rope, and then walking lower back alongside the bus chatting casually to the passengers. keep petrol via pushing your automobile on your trip spot. continually passers-via will think of you have broken down and help. MOTORISTS. pressing your 'fog lights' change a 2nd time after the fog has cleared will relatively turn your fog lights off.

So they have the money to pay the salaries of the people that go around posting those little notes.

It was just a warning....unless they tell you HOW fine your parking was, I wouldn't pay it. In fact, change the license plate number to that of your ex-girlfriend and put it on her car.

I kind of agree with Larry but try Skeez's idea too. That'll teach her. Or just cover the fire hydrant with a black trash bag next time.

No doubt on your parking technique... Unfortunately, you have met someone that does not know how to appreciate
