However, the 42-year-old says this is misleading and that the council “cannot expect people to check every sign”

Having vowed never to shop at the store again after being regular customers for five years, they are among a raft of others who have criticised the parking enforcement in recent months.
“I told the Tesco CEO, ‘£40 might not seem like much to you, but to people like me and my husband on a state pension, that’s a meal on the table’,” Mrs Thompson continued.”

I’m old enough to remember him trapping a blanket under the bonnet overnight and if I’m not misremembering sometimes placing a paraffin light under the engine – that might have been when we only had the car port. Cars wouldn’t start on winter mornings!!
