Francis Albert Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hey I've contributed plenty to the thread, I even provided a link to the Scottish Citizens Advice Bureaus advice page for exactly this issue. Meanwhile, you've been judgemental, preachy, called people entitled arseholes and acted like an anal wee bowling club president who's found someone having two biscuits - "hey, he's breaking a rule!" The particular post you quoted though, I was just laughing at you to be fair another telling contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Scummy thing to do IMO. Why not just find somewhere else to park? Embarrassingly lazy. You're beginning to come across as a hopeless troll mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Agreed. Some people's sense of entitlement is embarrassing. I think every now and then sending someone around to let down tyres or key scratch offending cars would do the trick. After all as some have said there is no CCTV and there would be no practical come back for the "victims". Ah, so parking in Sainsbury's is ''scummy'', but keying a car is fine.

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 If the car park for the Hearts museum is heavily used by shoppers and residents around Gorgie Road, to the detriment of visitors and visitor numbers, presumably we'll be OK with that?

Sandy Clark Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Why use Sainsburys? there's plenty of empty private drive ways on Stevensons drive, just park your car there ? Owners of these private properties won't be able to do anything will they? Oh, if when you get back to your homes surrounds ? in Dunfemline/Livingstone etc, to find some group of people having a barbecue in your very nice garden, remember how you STOLE a companies private property space. I have no affiliation to any companies car parks, but a deep dislike for ignorant and inconsiderate drivers, half the clowns who bring their cars in town on a Sunday, never having learned how to park before.

John Frum Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Many contracts in the world aren't valid. An unenforceable contract is one which a court deems as valid but will not enforce for a particular reason e.g a contract to buy controlled drugs. Parroting that parking charge contracts are unenforceable is wrong because they are no different to any other contracts the difference is it a very hard if not impossible to prove the parking company entered in to a valid contract with a particular individual. That doesn't mean that if you confirm you were the driver and that you entered in to a contract with the company and it went to court the court would not enforce it. Where the contract contains a "penalty" rather than a charge the contract is unenforceable. Where a fraud (use of words such as fine, penalty or misrepresentation) is committed a private parking contract is also unenforceable. Both of these have been tested in courts many times. We can go into detail if you want but its the general principles that are important for those reading this thread - they just want to know if they will get away with it or not - I suspect no ones really interested in the remedies available to them / the law If anyone is really into it, they can go on PePiPoo to read the case studies and discuss with lawyers to their hearts content.

Erik Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 In the grand scheme of things - its clearly not something which is crime of the century, but that doesn't mean its not worthy of debate. Sadly, we now live in a society where these 'just park where you want and ignore the fines' type posts have become culture. Maybe i'm just getting old and have old fashioned beliefs, but i'm very much of the thought that if a land owner sets out a set of conditions they wish to be met in order for me to use their facility - i'll either meet those conditions and use their facility, or decide that I don't like the conditions and choose not to use them. If I decide to use their facility and breach their conditions - Im also of the opinion that any penalty they have declared prior to my use of their facility should be enforceable. 'I'LL PARK WHERE I WANT FOR HOWEVER LONG I WANT AND THROW YOUR TICKET IN THE BIN LOLOLOLOLOLOL' - i'm not sure how anyone can even try and argue that that's anything other than selfish behaviour. Its Sainsbury's car park. It should be entirely up to them how they regulate its use. If they say for customers only and for a maximum of 2 hours - that's THEIR call to make, not yours. The argument over 'no one lost out' is a daft one. If even one person decided 'awk theres football on - I might not get parked, i'll nip to asda instead' - then that is a loss. Granted, its not going to sink Sainsburys, but i'm not sure why that would make it alright - if I walk in and shoplift a bottle of vodka, that wont sink them either....... that doesn't make it right though. I don't think I've EVER driven to Tynecastle, even on a 'big' match day, and had to park any further away than the Jenners Depository - which is a 15 minute walk tops.

Cal_ Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Would someone be scum if they did their weekly shop, popped into the dry cleaners and then had a bite to eat in the caf? which took them over the two hour threshold? No. They would be in the wrong though. The 2 hours is given to do your shopping. Then you leave and allow others to use the space. That would be low level abuse of the system as opposed to people using the space with no intention of using the store who are totally in the wrong and approaching "scummy".

No it's not, it's completely relevant to the point. No one lost out so the angry tits who demand vengeance are doing so out of nothing more than a self-righteous, holier than thou stance. It's great you wouldn't do it, neither would I, but all that means is people have a different view. It's definitely not a sign that Thatcher won or that you're somehow morally superior to someone who parked their car in a free car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not a sign that Thatcher won or that you're somehow morally superior to someone who parked their car in a free car park. Firstly - you cannot prove no loss. That's a fact. LIke I say, if so much as one person decided against going shopping because of football traffic in the car park - that is a loss for Sainsburys. Secondly, I've not demanded any sort of vengeance and would also join in in condoning ever scratching someones car. If you've an issue with someone, take it up with them, not their car. Thirdly, I've never claimed Thatcher won. Fourthly - its not a 'free car park' as such. There are conditions which go with it. The use of the car park is only 'free' when those conditions are met. Dunno why you've decided to try and tar my post using points such as vandalism or thatcher when they have absolutely nothing to do with anything I said or even hinted at.

If you count yourself as an angry tit then you were included, I certainly didn't say that though. It's not me calling people scum while claiming the moral high ground. The original claim that the Gorgie community had been inconvenienced was from friend Francis, the burden of proof is his. I keep saying it's bollocks, because he can't prove it. And let's face it, technicalities aside, we all know it's bollocks, the Gorgie community slept soundly on Saturday night. Also the car park IS free. There's no hourly rate, there's no pay desk, there's no income generated from that car park's use.

Deevers Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Heard from a pretty reliable source that Saturdays display of action by the car parking company came as a result of Sainsbury's management becoming angry at the volume of cars being parked in their car park by folk going to the game. They have been giving the Parking Company stick for their non action over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
