That's all well & good, Liz, if you know your way around, which my wife (and me too) don't know the area.

My point was, that it's an impossible, and daft situation, where you have to pre-book, download an APP, etc, etc

Whatever happened to "find a space, pay a fee, pop the ticket in your car" go shopping...

Said it before, we don't pay for parking in Scotland (unless it's private land) So we park, shop...spend our money, and leave.... everyone happy!!!
