    I agree. It's a complete rip-off.

    Can beat that
    When you drop off at Leeds/Bradford airport it's £2 for what amounts to 30 seconds-you have to pay to exit even though you are not parked-just dropping off

    Capitalism at its best. Essentially, it's a stealthy way of reducing the cost of airport fees to the airlines, and recoup costs through other stealth methods. Airline tickets look cheap, but add in parking, cup of tea, sandwich, bottle of whiskey and upwards the costs go.

    Parking Charges, Comprehensive Insurance, regular Maintenance, spiralling Fuel costs ... the list is seemingly endless ... !

    's why I'm so glad I don't own a car.

    Hospital car parks are a rip-off too.
