I remember last year a documentarty was shown on Tv about CCTV camera's were giving out parking tickets for illegal parking, like confette.
This was one item that caught my eye, it just makes me wonder who pockets the money, and each year the cost goes up.
I live near Hounslow, and if you ever go to the Blenheim Centre, the price has increased twice over the past 18 months, although you can park in ASDA, providing you buy goods over £10.00.
You can see parking attendants on every corner. In Central London parking is 50p for THREE MINUTES.
If there is a road near you that people know where to park for free. Guaranteed next year there will be parking meters there - another rip off by councils.

That does sound quite a rip off. I live in Great Sutton Cheshire, and when I park in nearby Ellesmere Port I pay 50p for four hours parking, or £1 for 6 hours and then it's free parking for arrivals after 3.00 pm.
