Last week John Tollow, from Old Portsmouth, also got in touch to say he felt he had been unfairly ticketed, but as he felt pressured by the threatening letter, he coughed up – only to later regret giving in to the firm’s demands.
John, 76, said: ‘I don’t think they should be allowed to get away with it. I don’t know whether it was my fault or the machine but I would like to think that I can operate a parking machine.
‘I don’t want my money back, I wanted to offer my support to Joanne as she had a very valid argument. NCP has said that its machines work perfectly well but it’s clear from the level of correspondence in The News that it isn’t true.’

‘But now we have postponed that until the summer. I am going to be 100 all over again.’
Born in New Southgate, London, Boris was one of five boys. His parents later adopted a girl, the mother of Tracy Brown, who is his beloved niece and closest remaining relative who he sees regularly.
Boris spent much of his childhood in Hillingdon until two of his brothers contracted tuberculosis. He says: ‘It was because we used to drink bottled milk straight from cows without it being cleaned. We moved to Shoreham by the sea for the cleaner air.’
