Thank you for your comments and assumptions but as you seem to have replied in this ascerbic way to many other postings I shall deny you the attention you seek and hope you find some friends soon.

I have just received this notice out of the blue one month after the alleged offence. I was a passenger at the time and know that the ticket machines were down thoughout the car park and no other car (around 30 parked) had a ticket displayed. We returned several hours later after dark and found that the whole car park was in complete darkness (which explained why the ticket machines were down). It was a fairly dangerous expedition to our car in total darkness. There was no pcn on the car. We did not receive one by post. The Driver Notice states a PCN No but no other details. I understand from previous threads that this fine is not valid and I intend to fight it. I was wondering if any other people caught by the same council [problem] would like to join forces in publicising this shameful practice by Swanage Council Doc1.doc
