Beware predatory car park
Gilbert White's House & Gardens的点评
点评：Beware Predatory car park that discriminates against the disabled.
We travelled to Gilbert Whites house to do the zig zag walk and visit the museum and have afternoon tea. When we arrived in the morning we tried to do the parking registration thing at the cafe but it was closed, so we bought a 3 hour parking ticket for £4 in the car park. The machine is fiendishly complicated, but we succeeded eventually. The walk took a little longer than we anticipated due to having a member of our group having suffered a severe stroke recently, so we unwittingly went a few minutes over the ticket time limit. I thought nothing of it to be honest. Two weeks later I receive a notice from Parkingeye (Gilbert Whites choice of parking enforcement) for a £100 fine, reduced to £60 if paid within 2 weeks of the offence. Well the letter didn’t arrive until 2 weeks after the offense! In any case I appealed the enormous fine because of the disability of one of our group, and the fact that we had bought a ticket in good faith based on our best guess of the length of our visit. Appeal rejected! Having expended so much time and energy already and unable to face further appeals - Parkingeye provide lots of evidence in their letter stating how unlikely such appeals are to be successful, hence I just paid the fine.
I hope the trustees of Gilbert Whites house can sleep well at night predating on the disabled by appointing such a ruthless and amoral company to run their car park

翻译：警惕歧视残疾人士的掠夺性停车场。
我们前往吉尔伯特·怀特家，进行之字形步行，参观博物馆，享用下午茶。早上到达时，我们想在咖啡馆办理停车登记，但咖啡馆关门了，所以我们在停车场花 4 英镑买了一张 3 小时的停车票。机器极其复杂，但我们最终成功了。步行的时间比我们预期的要长一些，因为我们团里的一名成员最近患了严重的中风，所以我们不知不觉地超出了停车票的时限几分钟。说实话，我没怎么在意。两周后，我收到了 Parkingeye（吉尔伯特·怀特选择的停车执法机构）的通知，罚款 100 英镑，如果在违规后 2 周内缴纳，罚款将减少到 60 英镑。然而，这封信直到违规发生 2 周后才寄到！无论如何，我上诉了这笔巨额罚款，因为我们团里有人残疾，而且我们买票时，也确实根据我们对参观时长的最佳估计，诚心诚意。上诉被驳回了！我已经耗费了这么多时间和精力，无力再面对上诉——Parkingeye 在信中提供了大量证据，说明此类上诉成功的可能性有多小，所以我只好支付了罚款。
我希望吉尔伯特·怀特家的托管人晚上能睡个好觉，因为他们竟然委任了这样一家冷酷无情、不道德的公司来运营他们的停车场，掠夺残疾人。
