This is a question Complaining

I like writing letters of complaint to companies containing the words "premier league muppetry", if only to give the poor office workers a good laugh on an otherwise dull day. Have you ever complained? Did it work?

Mmmm
I’m not saying that this isn’t true, and I have no specialist knowledge on the subject, but the above has the smell of the typical bollocks that barrack room lawyers spout up and down this great nation.

yeah, I'm pretty sure you can go to prison for that

Actually...
...it is true, cos I got a parking ticket recently (which was perfectly valid and I paid it cos it was entirely my fault) and I checked all this in case I could wriggle out of it.

However, while there are observation times listed for each type of parking offense, quite often that observation time is zero - for instance when your parking ticket has expired or parked for longer than allowed.

At least for my town: www.bournemouth.gov.uk/Library/PDF/Living/Transport/Parking/tmadiscretionpolicyv4docJune%2008.pdf

I've checked it before when trying to wriggle out of a ticket
^^^ observation times from and to on the ticket have to be at least those for the offense committed for the council.

Have a google for "minimum observation period". Obviously, it depends on the offense, as NoveltyCondomHead says...

I did have a quik look
as far as I could tell the observation times are discretionary, and a ticket is still legally enforceable with zero observation.
