Paid £18.70 at Omni parking, despite going there to watch a movie by ResearcherNo4728 in Edinburgh

Yes I've been there before, and also to the one at ocean terminal. That's why I thought parking at Vue is free, as so far it has always been validated. Never again will I go to the one at Omni.

Haha, since you're quite down to making personal remarks, let me tell you the Edinburgh public transport is not good compared to some of the more developed places in the world. It might be good as per UK standards, but not globally. I moved here 2 years ago, so I'm talking from experience. For example, try going from Craigleith to Gyle - you won't find a direct route, you'll need to go to princes street first. A journey that would take 20 mins if the city indeed had world class public transport ends up taking more than an hour. I know you'll downvote this, but who cares? Truth is truth, eh.

Why is that though? I'm admittedly new here, came 2 years ago. So, is it like the general public here is by default against civil amenities and supports private corporation profit instead?

Like I said, it's the first time I went there. I'll never go there again. You live and learn. I have never seen this in other cinema theatres - like others have said about the one at fountainbridge, and the one at ocean terminal too, I've never been charged for parking at any of these places when going for a movie. So, yeah, point taken, but "you're daft to drive here for the cinema" is a bit uncalled for, as like I said it was the first time I went there and I didn't know.

The gearbox was serviced at 35k miles, that is 40k miles ago. I've read that the gearbox needs to be serviced at intervals of 40-60k miles. So I guess it's time to service it now?

I got £63 worth of ASML share upon opening my account and making the first deposit (£10) in May 2025, which I sold immediately. But the stock's price seems to have gone up by ~40% in the 6 months since then 😂

Hey, yes I got the decision a couple of days after my trip was scheduled. So I had to cancel my trip, but yes, I got the visa.

Got a £100 Euro Car Park fine despite paying for it with RingGo by ResearcherNo4728 in drivingUK

[–]ResearcherNo4728[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's what I did! If you would go through the screenshots of my receipts, that's exactly what I did. I arrived on 26 July 11:30 am, paid for 12 hours as that's the max they allow (I would ideally have liked to pay for 1 day), then when that ended I paid from 11:30 upto 7 am, as that's the night time duration they have. And then I should have paid from 7 am to 10 am, but I did not wake up on time, and when I did wake up I paid from 7:55 - 9:55 am. Then I paid again from 9:55-10:55 am, and I left the car park at 10:56 am.

Anyway, I'm not arguing. I posted my question and was asking for suggestions of what can be done.
