If I get a penalty charge for today, I'll send a letter over the weekend saying that I paid for parking BOTH days, and for some reason the ticket has gone missing. I've no idea if it's been stolen or just blown off in the wind on the first day, but here's the 2nd "offences" legal ticket, I kept it with me because the first one went missing. Oh yea, BTW Mr Parking Services officer, there was a red bandit parked next to me on the first day (thereby validating my mates claim to parking & paying for a ticket, but it going MIA)

Sorry for the long post, just thought I'd explain to DoubleD mainly. If the council come back & say that they'll forget my second penalty, but we both have to pay the first one, then as far as I'm concerned, fair cop. I wasn't aware of the policy, but I didn't really make the effort to find out for definite either.
