Hi everyone

I’ll try keep this short and simple, I was on my way for an appointment with a mortgage advisor for the first time upon arriving he rang me as my girlfriend messged him to say we have arrived and asked where to park up, he came down and was standing on the Corner just passed the no entry sign I said to him I can’t go through there as it’s a no entry on the phone ( handsfree) and he said I should be okay as I was turning left straight away, at first I wasn’t going to go through but as it was my first appointment and was nervous I listened and went through it. I know it was an obvious no entry and I shouldn’t of done it which I wouldn’t of done but I didn’t want to tell him to stand there for 5 minutes while I drive round the correct way, what’s the chances of me getting caught, see images below, I know I sound like a wally and I’m expecting the harsh comments so fire away. The 2 other images are the only cameras I can see.

The entrance looks pretty private property to me.
I think you'll be fine; Don't worry about it!

I've done similar, involving a tram track, and all worked out hehe

‘Shouldn’t of’ is the bigger crime here, you know!

..’sigh of relief’? This is no place for toilet humour.

Why listen to your mortgage advisor?

If your mortgage advisor told you to take a product which would financially stretch you over the course of 25 years and tie you into an endowment which would have no possibility of ever paying off the capital on an interest only mortgage, would you do it?

I guess it is ‘in a public place’. Me, I am still waiting for people to follow the direction arrows in supermarket car parks (I am tempted to ‘crash for cash’).

Those arrows are only advisory, I certainly disregard them where common sense suggests I should, I’ve yet to be jailed as a consequence.

I recognise that business park. Only been there once but it is ingrained in my memory due to the mountains for speed bumps. They're literally about 1.5ft tall and steep gradients. I had to ascend them almost parallel.

As for your predicament can't imagine anything at all will happen. It's a business park.

I think you could be in for a tense wait. No entry signs contain induction coils that detect cars passing the wrong way. If there was a camera on the nearby building, there's a high probability that your numberplate will have been clocked. Normally drivers don't find out about these things, but the system automatically informs some mortgage companies and it can work to bring down your credit rating.

I presume you got your mortgage agreed at this appointment? If it's just a decision in principle you may need to go back ASAP before the electrons from the camera reach the central bank database and deny you a full mortgage.

Why was the use of 'of' instead of 'have' picked up but 'phew' instead of 'few' allowed past?

Your right them speed bumps was massive, my cars not lowered and I thought I was gonna scrape smile either way I’ll just have to wait I shouldn’t of done it so it’s my own doing be gutted if something comes of it.

I'm more interested in why OP is still repeating that mistake. He really isn't very good at interpreting the signs.
