So @gabba went to Albany mall last Friday to meet a friend for coffee, left, came home, went to the supermarket and then back to Albany mall to meet another friend. Such is the life of the semi-retired, I guess.

But got a $50 ticket for parking at the mall for more than 4 hours.

The bloody ratbags have probably figured out that $50 is about the amount of money that not many of us are going to spend hours on the phone / writing letters trying to get it stopped and just pay the damn thing.
