My turn yesterday.
Mrs B and I were participating in an organised bike ride to see the 22 Rhino sculptures in London www.tuskrhinotrail.com/ . Early Sunday trains from Northampton being a bit hit miss and stopping at every thick tree we decided to drive in and park in Lincoln's Inn Fields which is free on Sunday and usually empty. On this occasion however most of the bays in both Camden and Westminster, who control the south side of the square, were suspended for what looked like filming.
Round the block to west side and back in Camden we found a row of spaces with expected sign at one end setting out the charges for parking Mon-Sat so free on Sundays. Two spaces at far end so we nipped in, unfolded the Bromptons, and rode off.
Got back to find a PCN from Camden. A solitary sign ten feet up a lamp post designated some of the bays as Permit/Residents. Although other bays scattered around back of buildings on Kingsway had road markings to show they were Permit Holder only there was no such marking on the bays I'd used. The only differentiation on close examination was a gap of less that a foot between one set of bays and next.

Could contest or pay the £65 'fair cop guv' discount rate within 14days.
Will have think tomorrow when not working and I've got time to look in more detail and see whether there are any relevant adjudicator's decisions.
