Is this the most costly parking charge so far?

[AMG Merc]

Went to see Spectre at iMax (thought it was 3D - mistake, might as well have gone to the local Cineworld - free parking!) - paid £20 per seat (the most I've ever paid for a cinema seat) and then got this



Over £30,000/hour

Dont pay...

the fine ( invoice) will only be a few hundred £s

[soad]

I make it £9.50

Aah the confusion between IMAX and IMAX 3D strikes again. Same screen just not filmed in 3D, and therefore, IMO, better for it. big screen and big sound made a difference in that.

As for the parking charge, I think I would just pay it and not worry... I mean, I'd only have to sell my house and then ignore the bank chasing me up, but certainly worth it for seeing Bond.

Damn you're poor. That's a rounding error on my hourly wage...

[Impasse]

Seems a reasonable predetermined estimate of loss to me. Pay up, you're bang to rights.

Can I have that I want to claim it in my exes

Picture the scene...

<bloke behind counter types amount> £9.50
<doesn't read screen and doesn't press enter>
<customer takes machine>
<types PIN without reading screen>
5201
<enter>
<receipt doesn't come out>
<finally reads screen>
That's odd, it's asking for my PIN again. Must've mis-typed...
<types PIN again>
5201
<enter>
<receipt comes out finally>

Worst "My card'll stand £95k being put on it by accident" thread ever, btw...

Followed shortly, I hope, by an AMG merc being parked next to a cashpoint and several PINs changed...

What, you think my credit limit is above this?! Amount isn't checked until the bank is pinged - it didn't get to that stage. It's a bit of fun FFS - get a life!

It's probably a software fault rather than a user error. You'd be surprised how flaky some of these machines can be.
