My Wife Used This Car Park After Her Usual Car Parks Were Full. She Parked But The Ticket Machine Wasn't Working. So She Spoke To The Security Guard Who Noted Her Time Of Arrival And Said Speak To The 'Guard' Who Is On When You Get Back. When She Finally Finished Work That 'Guard' WAS IN MANCHESTER, Knew Nothing About The Car Park And Was Very Unhelpful. My Wife Eventually Got Charged For A Lost Ticket So She Could Get Home. What A Crock.
