Didn't know which thread to put this in but has anyone used JustPark and parked in supermarket car parks? 

 

Just booked 3 nights in Morrisons Car park in York for £23. Was looking at triple that for all the other car parks I could see. Wanted to do train but as we come home on a Sunday, trains are ****ed and it's rail replacements. 

 

Obviously, normally supermarkets have 2 or 3 hour limits. Am I going to come back to a hefty ticket, or is it legit? 

Can cancel up to 24 hours before so thought I'd book it and then research the legitimacy afterwards. 

 

I know people who use these apps for football trips etc but paranoid with it being multi day stay. Any horror stories? 

 

I've not used JustPark but have used YourParkingSpace.com, parked in Morrison's car park for 2 nights to attend a wedding, somewhere down 'sarf'. Parked in Asda Wolverhampton for the match last night and Morrisons Leicester for a concert at 02 Academy. It's usually controlled by ANPR, your registration will be on the database as approved. So, no issues to report, in my experience.

Used it and I’m pretty sure I’ve used that car park too and it’s absolutely fine.

Used a parking website last week in Newcastle, £13 Friday-Sunday and it was a doddle. Other car parks were coming in at as 3 or 4 times the price.

Lisbon's a great city.

They have a world class aquarium on the Tagus waterfront,  well worth visiting.

Back home early doors tomorrow, sat on a balcony in the old town of Alicante (always assumed this place was just the drop off point en route to good old Beni) absolutely lovely place and keen to see more.

 

Highlights were the 2 nights in Altea..wow, what an absolutely stunning little place, the hill walk up to the church rivals anything I’ve previously obsessed over on the Greek islands

I'm off to Jamaica in September 

You're phrasing has ruined a tired old joke I planned to make.

 

Can we have another try?

 

Hang on, I'll line you up. Is any female going with you?

Had a brilliant long weekend in Prague. Such an impressive city and not what I expected at all

I think it's the nicest big city in the world. The districts being distinct from one another is cool too.

Yes but I do barely know her 

 

In fact she’s from northern Italy - Genoa?

From the small sample size I have to judge from I fully agree

Have never been to Prague, which is definitely something I should put right

That’s surprising. Predictably the old town is crass and so far removed from what it would have been like even 15 years ago but the rest is great. Zizkov is up your street.

 

It’s European Bar Guide’s favourite city for good reason and outside the central districts beers are sub £3 despite the impressive living standards.

I haven't been much to Central Europe outside of Slovenia and bits of Austria. Would like to see more of the Visegrad countries especially Hungary.
