Matt H Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Just had an email around the office stating that the car park that my company uses has been closed down by the cops! People are having to go and sign for there cars before they are released! I’m not surprised to be honest, the place is a derelict piece of land on the out skirts of Manchester, there’s no marked bays, just a bunch of thugs directing you, edit, ordering you to somewhere to park. They cram so many cars in that sometimes they ask you to leave your keys so they can manoeuvre cars around during the day!! yeah right! One of my colleagues told me they were told that they would leave her car keys under her wheel arch if no one was around later on!!!! What a joke, yet day in day out people have said to me when I’ve said that’s its a dodgy place.. "no its fine that place" "I’ve got no problems leaving my keys" "you can bet that when you get back to your car its going no going to have been robbed etc" “safest car park in town” Thank god that I now don’t have to drive to work anymore! Going to be a bitch for the motorist commuters in my office tomorrow as there free parking has now drastically come to an end.. no solution has been offered either, as parking in the town centre in a legit car park would cost a fortune. Cant wait to find out what exactly has been going, ooh the scandal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 That's abit shitty, Last time i went to Mani i was only there for 3 hours and i had to pay £14 for parking, I nearly left the car there:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Lynz_ Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I took my mum shopping the other week and she kept trying to pay for things all day, like coffee and lunch etc but I just kept saying "no it's ok mum, you just pay for the carpark". Bear in mind my mum's used to paying £2.00 in Wigan for the day! We where there about 3.5hrs and it cost us £14.00, I had to scrape her off the floor. She said we're going on the train next time. Manchester is a rip off for parking!! At least you don't have to worry about it Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Car parks have got to be one of the most lucrative businesses I can think of. People pay you good money for what? Just to be able to park on a piece of land. No upkeep, no buildings, practically zero maintenance, just minimum wage for some bloke to stand there all day. Easy!
