Do you know what, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say fair play to her, I was in the same situation I did the same to be honest!
Has anyone here been clamped by one of those private clamping firms? I was clamped and the bloke demanded I pay £300 to have the clamp removed, I had 1 wheel in a yellow line and was out of the van for all of 2 minutes, wasn't blocking any traffic or causing an obstruction at all, yet he still decided to clamp me.
Upon refusing to pay the fine, he said that the clamp would remain on the van and would the fine would increase by £50 each day that passed. As soon as he left, I let alot of air out of the tyre, drove out of the clamp, pumped up the tyre and promptly did one. I never heard another word from them, which leads me to suspect this throbber was flying solo.
