Parking Charge Notice for Coop

Hi all,

Anyone got off one of these? I parked at a car park outside Coop for 25.5 minutes when apparently 15 minutes is the max you can stay.

Absolutely ridiculous in any event as nobody should be forced to do their shopping in under 15 minutes, but anyway, has anyone successfully ignored these, or appealed on the grounds of "oh f**k off"
