Hi all, i was away visiting my partner and we stopped at a services , and briefly stopped in a Starbucks car park to check out phones. We were in there for 10 minutes at most. I had not parked in a bay, but rather a row of spaces where two or three cars could parallel park. My other half told me this car park was camera controlled, but, I do not remember seeing any signs saying you could not park where I did. I received a fine today, about 3 weeks after the incident, saying I was not parked in a marked bay, when the area I was parked in looks like a short row to parallel park. I have submitted an appeal, and was wondering for your advice. I would go back and have a quick look, but it is nearly 150 miles away. Many thanks, James
