Took the kids to LegoLand (Windsor) this summer. One day, there was an

off.


I should have clarified that - it was a Police ANPR with a pair of coppers
and a marked car.

Many car parks now have ANPR cameras on entrance and exit. Stay more than
the X free hours allowed and they send the registered keeper a parking
notice.

Have a closer look at the signage at any of your large supermarkets...
Saves the contracted parking company having to pay a man to walk around
with a note book and it'll get *every one* who overstays.


Yes - Cranbrook (Kent village) has a local tiny supermarket that has just
got one fitted.

Stupid thing is the car park is 1/2 empty most of the time and they will not
let you pay to stay an hour longer, to say see a film at the new 1-screen
wibbly cinema. The next car park is 1/2 mile up the road.
