Make that *at least* five minutes for the ones in Swansea District
Council car parks. The menu display defaulting to Welsh adds another
hurdle for some.


I've noticed that in Wales many car parks seem to have the most
complicated of pay points that could ever have been conceived, and as
you say, often defaulting to welsh on the display.Â* Position the
terminal at a height suitable for a wheelchair user. Add a 26 letter
keypad (miniature mechanical buttons) not laid out in a qwerty format
and a 10 number keypad not laid out in a phone format and most people
take ages just to type in their full registration number.


Â*I simply just don't understand not having the keyboard in Qwerty
format !!!
