Ok, will follow advice and prepare for a lot of mail then. thanks and all the best.

which brings a smile to an otherwise very dull afternoon for me. message received and understood, no longer will i try and fight every battle head on, i'll take your advice and ignore from now on. I posted this plea for help on another thread also before checking back on this one, so your very quick response and positive answer is received with many thanks.

Hi, hopefully i can get some advice on an Excel parking fine. I was parked on the white lines of a private parking bay (Berkley precinct Sheffield) nececitated by the skewed parking of the vehicle next to me. I have appealed the ticket (therefore breaking the first rule of advice to not contact them at all), and provided a picture showing the front half of my vehicle to be within the lines, however they have rejected (no surprise) the 'appeal' in writing with a picture of the back of the vehicle with the wheels on the line. Can you advise best next action for me? should i ignore all further correspondence?..or as i have already made the first contact, should i start with the standard letter templates. as provided in this thread. I also see that Excel lost the ruling in Mansfield, should i respond with that as a reference? Any advice on next move would be gratefully received.
