M4 junction 3. There is a 24 hour Tesco where you can park for 3 hours. It has a cafe. Also at junction 4 if you are coming from the M25, take the first exit and turn left again and you will come to a garden centre on the left that also has a cafe.

You can add John Lennon to that list as well with their £2 drop off charge. They say the "free" drop off point is 10 mins walk away? Yeah, right, if your Mo Farah on a good day ! You can't even chuck them out somewhere near, ANPR cameras and vans everywhere.

Liverpool is a nightmare....loads of signs telling you where to drop off. for a charge..but nothing for the free drop off point...and if you stop your car on the road leading to the airport you will be snaped by the camera van that is parked at the top of the road 24/7...then a couple of day later you will get a £60 fine tru the post..nightmare, and as far as i know Liverpool airport also charge the Hackneys to pick up.

We know we're being screwed but we work off the biggest operator in our town( 250 cars) with no competion and if anybody makes a stand are told to f..k off somewhere else!.
In interest what are others payed for HMP work? Cos i think we're being screwed there too.
BTW. Less of the cretin.

Loads of places around Heathrow. Don't worry about 'fines' in the likes of McDonald's, etc. www.pepipoo.com will show you how to deal with those. Same applies at JLA.

I am 25 miles from BHX, charge £40 (each way) and dont leave till the plane is landed when collecting, swoop in, collect and back home ASAP

Your giving it away mate just in the hope of being popular, like a cheap phuket ladyboy
