At The Trafford Centre, Handforth Dean, Cheadle Royal and almost all the public car-parks in Northwich, you can park for several hours, totally free-of-charge. All day in the case of the first example. Yet dare to turn up in a motor vehicle at Manchester Airport for 5 minutes and you incur a fine or tax imposed by the council graspers who run what is sadly becoming a Third World show. This fine is levied on the customer to cover the ineptitude of the airport's planning department, and trumpeted as an attempt to relieve the congestion that they themselves have created.
