IF you knowingly park without paying for whatever reason, then you are gambling and you lost. (Driver ticketed after stopping to pay his respects, Daily Echo, November 12).
As for people having a go at the council for enforcing the law of parking, I think you all need to look at who is at fault before pointing the finger of blame.
I have had tickets in the past and yes it hurts, but I put my hands up. If I chose to take a risk, or did not take responsibility for where I was parking, then I pay for it.
