Pay and dismay

A heavy-handed ticket inspector slapped a fine on an elderly driver - because her ticket was upside down.

Irene Ogley ensured she returned to her car before her parking ticket expired but was shocked to find a £25 fine.

"I'm not going to pay it because it's ridiculous" she sai. "The ticket was face up on the dashboard and it had not run out."

Mrs Ogley, 69, of Pokesdown, said she intends to dispute the charge and added: "There is nothing to tell you exactly which angle the ticket should be displayed at."
