Pathetic mate! Jobs worth ya see!In the words of max bygraves - let me tell you a story.
Our second child was in a hurry to be born, thus I had to rush my wife into hospital (labour started at 7.45 and baby was at er, "point of exit" at 9 and born 9.15).
So got there, parked on the hatched area by the main entrance to maternity (but not obstructing access which is plenty wide). Ran in to get help - nurse with porter and wheel chair. Accompanied them up to the ward. Ran back downstairs to move car to car park 100 yards away (so car had only been left unattended for less than 10 mins) - ticketed for £60 fine.
Tried to appeal, and in spite of them seeing the course of events unfold on the CCTV, appeal was turned down.
Yeah same for me. There's something not right with that 'rule'. I have to admit I don't know of the 'possible' consequences but if nurses are turning a blind eye/allowing it and doctors are just flouting the rule anyway, surely the 'possible' dangers can't be that great?
most likely just a way, to have you spend your money in the coin/card operated ones

just to correct one little area. these prisons are charging for tv, private enterprise
since these things have been introduced,the amount of tele rooms for the patience to use have dwindled significantly,so most of the time your staying in your bed rather then have an excuse to get out and have a chat with others.
at least when these tele/phones came in even they wernt heartless enough to charge on the kids ward.

I've been in and out of hospital 13 times in the past five years and never paid to watch tv yet. There is, in my experience, always a side room with a tv where patients can have a chat, watch the footie or whatever, all for free. Of course, if you are seriously ill, and I've been there, you wont be able to access the tv in the side room - but would you want to?
