A furious pensioner says she is being ‘blackmailed’ into paying a £170 parking fine - despite putting £1 in a machine on a shopping trip to Iceland.
Mary Jones, 72, and husband Mike's despair unfolded when they went shopping at the Barnstaple branch. They parked their car in a car park which they thought belonged to Iceland, but was managed by Excel Parking.
Explaining the circumstances surrounding the trip on January 18, Mary told Devon Live : “My husband stayed in the car because he's not able to do any walking at the moment. I went to the machine to get a ticket out, put the money in and no ticket, nor my pound came out.
