On the way at last - with so many apps currently used in different car parks, throughout the country.

Even paying at the machines, by cash, can be a nightmare - as a variety of procedures need following.

Shove some loose change in the machine, take the ticket and put it on the dash, then leave the car park. What is hard about that, without giving data to third parties, etc?

Last week, a woman was fumbling on her phone to pay for parking on an app, then asked my partner if she had spare change? Cheek of it! I didn't pay for her parking, it's not my problem, but I put change in the machine for 4 hours, grabbed the ticket and walked back to my truck whilst she was trying to pay via an app.

Change - for car parking?


Useless in London etc.



With congestion charges added on too.

But yet another system you oppose/hate, GM; like:-




Sport, politics, politicians, voting, credit cards, UK, USA, Wetherspoons, Bournemouth, healthy eating etc.

They have roiled out all these apps and machines in Oz and I cannot for the life of me comprehend them.

Only 2 days ago while awaiting my disabled pass (I can hardly walk) to be renewed I tried to use one of those parking machines but it had grey writing on a green background. Absolute nightmare for those with dodgy vision.

Not that you can find anywhere to park anyway.

On the plus side Hedda. You are a wizard on the pinball machine.

All the parking meters near me and surrounding areas accept cash. What the fuck are you on about?

In the GLR, parking metres (requiring cash) are gradually being phased out - and already, many don't take coins.

And - when using an app - you don't even need a credit card, on you! Much simpler, and no cash to be collected by the council.

So - with a parking app, you don't have to:-


- have the correct change

- find or use a meter

- and can remotely extend stay duration

Right, third world problems.
