NOT LEGAL, but a frightener.

Check if your B&Q are doing the same thing.

Matalan are also doing this scam.

You might like to add any other stores etc who are doing this.

Maybe, but don't you feel that the 'system' should be made quite clear on
entry and not on some hidden notice somewhere?

NOT that I am saying it is "on some hidden notice somewhere", but for people
to be caught out, it cannot be that obvious can it?

Had I thought, I could have checked it out yesterday as I was in the Radio
Studios doing an interview and B&Q are on the same roundabout as the road to
the studios.

Its not their fault if people don't bother to look for or read signs, it
happens all the time.

There has to be several warning notices dotted about the car park for
people to see otherwise they would not be able to legally charge.

I quite agree with you. I am now very curious and next time I am in the
close vicinity I will investigate. I am talking with the Radio Station which
first drew my attention to this, and whilst it is a little way away from
B&Q, I will investigate. They have requested that I do a series on there so
I will, 'subject to protocol', have plenty of air time ;-))

ISTR reading somewhere that courts are beginning to rule in favour of
the parking companies. Would all the big stores sign up for it otherwise?

Where have you been? This is quite common on large "free" car parks.

Tesco Hexham have such a system, but then just across the road is a
large council Pay and Display car park so I can see the free Tesco
one being abused. Fairly sure Tesco Carlisle @ J43 also has cameras.

As to being illegal not so sure(*) there are notices up, if you don't
bother to read them that's your look out.

(*) The driver is the one liable not the "registered keeper" that the
notice will have been sent to. You can probably insist that they
provide proof of who was driving, which they probably can via a head
on photograph of the car...

While all the above is true, I can't help wondering what anyone would find
to do in B&Q that takes over two hours!

and/or using their cafe, AND, they are now doing 'Teach ins' according to
the radio.

So you attend a 'Teach in', see what you want and go and buy it. Take it to
the car. Go back and have a cuppa and cake in their cafe.

Then get clobbered for giving them your custom.

NOW do you see why I flagged it up?

But all these "free" store car parks have a had time limits of 2 or 3
hours for a very long time. So they've started to enforce the limit
it, just think of all the times you've got away with it...

I wonder how clever the camera systems are. Drive out at limit -
5mins around the round about and straight back in... One would have
to READ THE NOTICE to see if there is a "no return within x hrs" like
there is on quite a number of other parking places.

He said; choosing a kitchen. Even with their inhouse CAD system, it
could easily take 2 hours to decide the right combination and layout from
the huge number of options on sale (units, worktops, sinks, floor,
handles,tiles, appliances.

And get it all through the self service checkout, and speak to your bank
on the phone when the excessive amount of money being spent flags your
account. Then try and remember who you are and what your mother's maiden
name is.
