    Lads I've been clamped opposite Domino's in Sallins by NCPS, they have put the daily charge up to €2 per day and have only one visible sign outside the car park, I have always paid for parking and paid the €1. Anyone around to take off the clamp? I don't have the money to pay them.

    NCPS are mafiosa scum of the highest order. Their whole outfit is an extortion racket the sooner someone take them to the court the better. Anyone have €100 for a banger to drop in one of their parking spots.

    20 of us could chip in a fiver for the banger if you take them to court.

    Don't pay it. You'll get it off. If I had an angle grinder, i'd drive to Naas for the pleasure of cutting the thing off. Well...I do have one, but it need electricity to work :o

    Ta-da! Way less than €100 for the de-clamp, and you also have an excuse for an Xbox in the car!

    Ah right, yeah I was going along the same lines, the yoke I have is for getting things off busses and such, anyways happy declamping, just a word of warning, get a lock that's similar to the one you snap off, I've heard of lads getting fined for damaging the lock or some crap

    From looking at that photo - is it not possible to drive away with the yoke still attached? (Very slowly of course!)

    Rumour has it that it would be normal practise to cut the chain rather than the (case-hardened) lock..........

    Any part close to the ground will do. You need to get leverage in order to chop it off.

    Quick question to all you wise folk out there, if I park in the same spot tomorrow and pay the full €2 am I liable to be clamped again considering a clamp vanished from my car tonight?

    Alternatively you could ask Santa politely to hang around with the consaw and/or bolt cutters.

    Seems like he's reading boards.

    You want to tell boardsSanta what time you're likely to get off the train and go get your cuppa?

    Stay away until they've had their pint of blood clamped at least ten cars so their memory of their shaming fades.

    when you do next park there, make sure your car is filthy dirty
