点评:I have visited the beach at Caerhays many times , it is absolutely DELIGHTFUL
However, be warned of sharks !
Not those swimming in the sea, but the agents employed by the owners to run their parking facilities (namely Initial Parking, registered in Birmingham)
I bought my ticket the other day, for 3 hours , but inadvertently overstayed my welcome, doubtless enjoying and feeding my young grandchildren at the Café, far too much.
The parking fine arrived, telling me I had not bought a ticket (I had).
Upon appeal, they actually looked at their systems , and informed me that I had overstayed by 20 minutes and 55 seconds (very precise modern technologies),
and that I now owed them £60 for the privilege (or £100 if I did not rapidly comply).
Very fairly , they suggested that I could appeal further, but by default , were I to loose a 2nd appeal, the cost would be £100 in any case.
So BEWARE TRAVELLER, as similar oversights will cost you dear (at least £2.85 per minute by my reckoning ! )
You could always try the “might as well get hung for a sheep as a lamb…” approach.
However I suspect, given their attitude, that they may take you up on it.
Still, I can only assume the owners of the Caerhays estate, are happy (?) with the way their agents work, having employed them.
Don’t you just love UK “Staycations”
翻译:我去过凯尔海斯海滩很多次,那里真是太美了!
不过,要小心鲨鱼!
不是海里的鲨鱼,而是业主雇佣的停车场管理人员(具体来说是位于伯明翰的 Initial Parking 公司)。
前几天我买了停车票,时长3小时,结果不小心超时了,大概是因为在咖啡馆里逗弄我的小孙子孙女,吃东西吃得太多了。
罚单寄来了,说我没买票(但我明明买了)。
我申诉后,他们居然查看了系统,告诉我超时了20分55秒(现代科技真是精准),
现在我要交60英镑的罚款(如果我不尽快交,罚款100英镑)。
他们很公平地建议我可以再次申诉,但如果第二次申诉失败,无论如何都要交100英镑的罚款。所以,旅行者们,务必小心!类似的疏忽会让你付出惨痛的代价(据我估计,至少每分钟2.85英镑!)。
你也可以试试“宁可为一只羊被吊死,也不要为一只羔羊被吊死……”这种态度。
不过,鉴于他们的态度,我怀疑他们很可能会采纳你的建议。
尽管如此,我只能假设凯尔海斯庄园的主人对他们的代理人的工作方式感到满意(?),毕竟他们雇佣了这些人。
你不觉得英国的“宅度假”很棒吗?
