"Parking"

Parking is a nightmare. I arrived at 1000 for a 1045 appt. I arrived 40 minutes early. I found a sopace and gave it to a woman who was having to send her child in alone confident I had time to find another space. Just circled and circled with many other drives trying to get in a space before anyone else did. My son with autism got more and more stressed. I never got another space!! In desperation and late for app't I parked with 2 other cars on a large kerb with a sign saying a ticket may be given. I have seen other cars parked on those kerbs may times. The fine is half my family weekly food bill, £40, is too much. I told the receptionist I had had to park on kerb. I was 15 minutes late for sons MRI. When we left the hospital at about 12 noon loads of spaces.......
