Minute cost a mint

CHARgES of £1 per minute for dropping off people at airports ( Mail) is reasonable compared to what I have paid.

I visited Llanberis visitor centre near Snowdon, where there is 30 minutes of free parking. I overstayed by just over one minute and incurred an excess charge of £100, or £60 if paid within 28 days.

I had kept a careful eye on the time I was in the car park, but I was not aware the clock starts ticking the moment you leave the public highway and stops when you rejoin it. GRAHAM HANCOCK, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.
