Only places that have free carparks are those no one wants to go to. So have so few users it's not worth the bother of policing. Elsewhere what council can resist soaking the motorist?

Like a church?
Elsewhere what
No free council parking in the town centres in S Yorkshire. The Methodist Church car park on Pitt St is usually empty.

What on earth could anyone find to do in Northallerton that would take two hours? If someone moved to Northallerton and bought a horse then it would become a one-horse town.

Agreed. It caught me out the first time I used one these things: what I was all set up for doing was to quickly scan the items, then place them immediately into the shopping trolley I had brought to carry the stuff home on the bus. In the end, it took me much longer to take the stuff out of the supermarket trolley, scan it, place on the (smallish) area which turned out to be the weighing area, and then to take it all off that again at the end to place it into my own shopping trolley. What a waste of time and a hold-up!

I wholly agree. I've tried to use them at Tesco (various stores) and B & Q, (one store) and have failed every time.Last week at a Tesco in wild west North Wales, I tried to barcode through two packs of batteries that I don't think are security sensitive. It would not allow me to register more than one.
Fortunately, I saw a checkout counter with a human becoming free and went through without a hitch.
A Tesco droid was having fun trying to reset the machine as I left!

Did a quick Google and did not find it.
Was that by The Yardbirds in the 60s?

Is that still so after the beginning of October? I thought Stokesley was the only one in Hambleton able to hold out, due to the parish council owning rights to the square or it being registered as a common.

Doesn't it seem sad that a local authority (be it simply a parish council) can't set such things as parking conditions in its own area?
It's a bit like the 'EU' trying to impose rules and regulations on places like England (other 'EU'-type places such as France just ignore such regulations (although France would like to control the whole of 'Europe')).

Two hours are quite long enough to do any shopping.
