Phil, Thanks for your reply. Was it an honest mistake or was it deliberate? We'll never know for sure. I know I made a rather sweeping generalisation about parking attendants in my post, but this is about perception as much as anything else. Because I have only ever been issued one (justified) parking-related PCN, my perception until a few days ago was based only on the unfavorable commentary I read in the papers/forums. But I was willing to be persuaded otherwise. That willingness has now gone out the window because in this case I know for sure that the permit was easily visible, so my perception is now that the attendant was going out of his/her way to issue a fine rather than walk on by in the knowledge that I was a genuine permit-holder whose permit happened to be less than 100% clearly displayed.  It tells me all I need to know about the attitude of parking attendants around here. And no, I do not accept it was an honest mistake.
