Today, parking with Q Park in Nottingham between 12.30 and 4.30 cost 13.20GBP and that is likely to go up to 17.50GBP because we over ran by 20 mins. Why do we put up with such complete rip offs in this country?
Because, and this is in no way a dig at you especially if there was someone with limited mobility with you, in the case of parking its laziness. Same town different gig, I went to the 100 (sorry GP) at Trent Bridge and could have parked a mile away for free. I know there was on road parking available, my sis called me to say so. But I couldn't be bothered with the walk so paid ?6.50 to park maybe two minutes from the gate. If everyone, me included, parked further away for free the pay to park enterprises would have no business. Just my opinion, and as like you I've been in Europe recently there are far, far more fundamental issues where UK have 'let things slip'
