Im not actually talking about now, I was merely musing about recent times. I also wasnt reffering to staff parking on the tarmac bits.
I probably need to visit the hospital for an hour or so (people having babies, breaking legs or gettin old, you know) say four times a year. Each time I always find land owned by Latics rather than a private company (if it was the NHS then I would probably park there, but that is another story). Usually it would be that bobbly car trap on sheepfoot lane, but more recently we have been sent to the main car park, paying 2 or 3 quid cant really remember. Theres always others doing it at the same time and also when we leave (at which point some of the cars were different, indicating other brief staying fellow couple of quid payers.)
Just used to wonder and I wrote it down. Then somebody said the staff part (which was quite obvious and seperate) nets £100k fixed, so I added that on top.
Wish it never happened now.
