Hospital Car parking; good idea. Options

[GMR]

Today I went to Newbury Hospital for blood tests. I parked in their car park and Paid £1 for 4 hours. My daughter told me that when she last used the car park she gave her ticket to somebody else (as she had a few hours left over). So when I had finished I gave my ticket to somebody else. I also noticed that a lot of people coming out of the hospital asking others if they wanted their ticket.

Some people can afford it (car parking at the hospital) others can't so I had to write and mention the generosity of other drivers giving up their ticket to new arrivals.

I thought that was worth a mention.

No need to get your knickers in a twist GMR just because we think your charitable idea is flawed.... "Everybody does it" doesn't make it lawful.... (I think most of the Tottenham Rioters used the "Everyone was doing it" excuse and it didn't get them too far when they were dragged in front of The Beak.... )

If you want to give your ticket out then carry on. I think you'll find however that it's against the T's & C's that you agree to when purchasing a ticket from the machine. If there's a jobsworth on duty at the hospital then they may pull you up on it. The other 99.9% of the time the staff there will think you're a 'Jolly Good Bloke' for doing it....


TBH on the few occasions that I've had to go there I didn't bother buying a ticket at all!! At least you paid your £1...! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED A FREE TICKET!!?



BTW, I've hired out a few top title DVDs from Blockbusters. They don't have to be back for a couple of days so if you want to save yourself a few quid let me know... The shop might struggle to survive if everyone used this technique but what the ****... the DVDs are mine till the time's up and I can do what I want with them....(Note - Hypothetical scenario)

I also have a fancy dress suit and it doesn't have to be back for another week.... If anyone wants to use a rather sweat stained 'Pimp Suit' (size large) and save hiring one from Pageant then get in touch....
