Oxford - beware £1 per minute parking!

Visited "London Oxford" EGTK on Friday to go to Blenheim Palace.
All fine; uplifted over 100 litres of fuel, paid the landing fee.. except then they insisted on stiffing me £19.20 as I was parked 20 minutes over the 4 hours .. 10 minutes of which I was getting the fuel !
Despite pointing out that if I had visited the next day (Saturday) there would be no landing fee for uplifting just 50 litres of fuel, and I did not mind paying the landing fee, and some of the time over the 4 hours was due to me getting the fuel.. they still insisted I pay the full daily parking rate 'for the time over' - it effectively cost £1 per minute parking !

I pointed out to them how unfair this felt, and that they would lose me as a customer - but they clearly didn't give a sh*t.
So this is a place I will not go to again.

I understand that they plan some landing fee offer in a month or two - maybe so, but be warned - if you choose to visit and you outstay your welcome they will stiff you.
