Apologies in advance for a completely unrelated to Maserati topic, but thought it might serve as a warning albeit remote in helping anyone on here, about parking in the retail park in Harlesden N. London.
I visited said car park to buy something that was only available from the branch of Argos at that location.
In addition you have a number of other shops that you would never expect to pay to park outside, Tesco's Burger King even a b***dy Pound shop.
I was parked for 15 minutes visiting Argos and popping into the Tesco to pick up a couple of things.
Now a letter from the scum parking operator - you us £60.00 or £100.00 if you don't pay up in 14 days.
I have never yet been to an open air retail park where you have to pay for parking. Usually it's free to encourage people to use the shops. Clearly this dodgy bunch of pirates thought this will be easy pickings for that very same reason. Of course if you want to be observant there will be signs somewhere, but these people rely on usual behaviour to catch out the ever suffering motorist.
Pity the government don't put as much effort in outlawing this daylight robbery as they do in the crazy obscure crazy legislation that they like to put into force to attack the motorist amongst others.
It's examples like this that at times make me feel like the UK is a dump where law abiding people are easy prey thanks to technology.
As has been said before RANT over, but it would be interesting to know if I'm alone and over reacting.
