Next time I will hopefully be bringing me & mine in a much better state

The Royale was pretty special, a great find! Now you just need a chauffeur to complete the set.

tt82 - 2:40 on the snow vid, made me grin

Yes, it would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall inside those cars and hear what they thought of me sailing past.

Baldmosher.....Not only do you live near us but I've just realised I know you from another forum. It was only when your wife mentioned that you collect jiffy bags that I realised.

Thank you Robbie for a truly super meet. To all who made the effort to get there my thanks too. It is good to see all the cars and faces that go with the forum names. Here is wishing you all the best till the next gathering.

Over lunch at the hostelry a number of us were discussing the "fines" levied by companies such as Euro Car Parks for overstaying the time. I mentioned a pro-forma letter that has been used to argue against these people: the basic text is set out below. Obviously you would have to customize the text to suit your own particular circumstances.
I should also point out that these companies can not impose "fines" as they do not have the statutory right to do so and it could be argued that any letter sent by them that makes mention of a fine is legally incompetent and would not stand up in court.

I do not consider that I "entered into a contract" with you/your client as I was unaware of the time restrictions on the site. I now consider the signage informing motorist to be inadequate, given the site's relatively cramped nature. Preoccupations of safe driving should take precedence when entering the site.
I believe the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 are aplicable because I am being asked to pay a disproportionately high sum in compenation. As several other parking places on the site were available during the times I was using theparking area I do not believe you/your client suffered a pecuniary loss. I also believe that a court would award only "reasonable" compensation if it were shown that a contract existed.
Should you chose to persist in further demands for payment, consideration must be given to the offence of harasment under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
