Thanks for all the replies , this site is a great place to get helpful information and to let off steam , i will be appealing the fine , using the info provided by Foccer font of knowledge , and even if they reject my appeal , i still won't pay , it's not the amount , which is reduced to £60 if you pay quickly which luckily i can afford to pay , its the fact i wasn't parked there overnight. All those people who say if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear , well i did nothing wrong .
