Was it clearly signed?

These people are nothing more than thieves though :(

Despise traffic wardens around Torquay. Sneaky buggers are so quick. £70 a time. Rather park on double yellows than park in parking bays.

it was a private clamping company that told me, so maybe the rules could be differant for councils and private land clamping companies

oh ok i thought it was on a private car park. No offence mate but you must have been parked pretty stupidly or blocking an entrance or exit to something because they dont normaly like towing them away. Please let me know if i was right or wrong pal
