He said: "We never parked – we were in the queue the whole time."There were six or seven cars in the queue with us who would have also been issued a fine.

I absolutely should not have to pay that."They should be ashamed of themselves."Last month Ahsan visited the car wash with his wife Linda Goslar, 31, and their three sons aged eight, five and three.

And when he received the letter, he "couldn't believe it". The letter said: "We are using cameras to capture images of vehicles entering and leaving the car park to calculate their length of stay."Your vehicle was parked longer than the maximum period allowed."By remaining at the car park without authorisation, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the signage, the Parking Charge is now payable to Euro Car Parks."He appealed the fine on the same day that he received the letter and is still waiting for a response from Euro Car Parks.
