Airport parking charges.

Yes, it's the punter that pays in the end, but £13 for a 75-minute wait at Gatwick.

Not the punter's fault the plane was stuck at the gate and the luggage took forever.

Airports don't make money out of the airlines or other activities because Mr O'Leary changed the game but have discovered a new easy source of income called car park charging because no matter how much they put it up people will still pay it.



They have the perfect justification for it called net zero i.e. make it so expensive to park a car everyone has to use a train or bus thus making you a climate change hero despite the fact aircraft put out more Co2 than a hundred cars

Idiots parking in a tight parking space, and not leaving themselves any room to get out of the car.

turning up at the polling station to find only one party has fielded candidates plus Mr vigilante speed trap the independent :roll:

but the parish council election has 12 candidates including reform uk, lib dems, ukip and multiple independents

ffs the parish council is symbolic and has no power and precious little budget why not stand for the real council ?

Yet again someone asking me for directions and then arguing with me that I'm wrong.

And then getting the hump when I tell him to f*** off then.

Every woman who employs a cleaner will clean the house before they come, because they wouldn’t want the cleaner to think they are filthy. Fact.
