Good luck to Dave Sutton and Paul Moorman (Letters, December 1 and 11) on parking tickets.

I parked half on single yellow lines, before the Draconian rules came into force, outside the Martlets Hospice shop because the goods from my late husband were too heavy to carry any distance.

My ticket showed I was parked from 11.01am to 11.05am and my charitable gift cost me £30. I, too, wrote to appeal - to no avail.
