    Yeah that’s normal in Britain for council and government fines (as opposed to often unenforceable private parking charges). The shitty part is that if you try to dispute it they don’t put the timer on hold so you essentially play double or nothing on how strong you think your case is. Lose and you have to pay the full thing. Not bitter at all.

      Wait, is it normal to have a discount or is it normal to only have the notification in a text message on your phone and nowhere else? Because the latter is rather worrying.
