Fuming dad forced to pay fine after upside down parking ticket

A dad was left fuming after being forced to pay a parking fine - after his valid ticket flipped upside down. Chis Amery had driven his two young children for a day out at the World Museum in Liverpool in March this year.

After purchasing a pay and display ticket on William Brown Street, he put the parking card on the dashboard and left his car. However, when he later returned to the vehicle, he realised that the ticket had fallen over - leaving him with a £50 charge from a parking warden, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Chris, from Prenton, Wirral, said: "Clearly this was an innocent mistake as the ticket I purchased was valid until 1.35pm and me and my two children returned to the car to drive home following our visit to the World Museum at around 1.20pm.
