   Chassie2 replied to mabel u.k's topic in UK

   The parking permit I paid for the past year I think has cost me £48 (to park in NHS grounds), if all the spaces for staff are full, you have to park in visitors spaces and pay the extra. Plus if your child is sick on the ward, you have to pay up to £...
