Don't know whether to laugh or cry that 20 pounds is considered a fortune for parking and gas. Depending on the area, you could easily blow through that in an afternoon over here. T_T

Current parking charges at Bolton are £4 for 24 hours (they were lower in 2012). 4 trips about 15 mile round trip was about £2 each at that time.

There's a lot of complaining about the fact it costs as much as a cup of coffee to go and visit people in hospital. Those with chronic conditions tend to get free parking (at least where I live now in Cheshire).
