So you arrive at 9 o'clock and you expect, when you pay for 12 hours parking, that you will get 9 o'clock the following morning over.
But actually, one minute past 12 o'clock that night is when it finishes and the 12 hours start again.
So basically, when I came to my car the following day, Sunday, that was clamped.
And when I rang the company, they told me that actually a minute after 12 o'clock, the contract starts again and you're supposed to pay again for your 12 hours parking.
Now, if you think that's fair or anyone thinks that's fair... Now, it's obviously in the fine print somewhere, CiarΓ‘n.
Definitely it's in the fine print somewhere.
Nine out of ten people don't.
So when I called a brother of mine to come down with the grinder...
He came down with the grinder.
We ground it off.
There was actually a woman there with the same problem.
And I said to her, would you like me to cut off that lock for you?
And she goes, would you please?
And I said to her, I said, you walk around the corner there that you didn't witness anything.
And she walked off and she came back to him this later and the clamp was just on the ground.
Lock was cut and now she drove off.
And I have no problem whatsoever for clamping companies doing the likes of that.
As I said, CiarΓ‘n, I can count seven clamps in the last eight years or so that I've cut.
for brother-in-laws, family members, anyone who would ring me, family member that would ring me, looking for a clamp to be cut, I just, no problem, two minutes down, cut it, gone.
It's very clearly a criminal matter, Cian.
