  Agree with all that, Rick. Don't think anybody is questioning the rationale behind car park charging or criticising the provision in Dover. What most of the posters are asking for is the flexibility to carry unused time on one ticket over to use in the next carpark they need to visit, albeit this would appear to be beyond the capability of the systems currently in use.
  
  My own small whinge was that slapping exorbitant fines on tail-end charlies minutes before the charging period expires for the day is only being done to swell the coffers and has nothing to do with the accepted raison d'etre for charging to which you refer, i.e. ensuring a steady turnover of spaces. Roger's advice that the final hour generates £90,000 p.a. would seem to bear this out.
