He later got a letter from operator ParkingEye saying he had overstayed.

Cameras at the car park, for Llandough hospital, near Cardiff, showed him arriving at 12.19pm and 53 seconds and leaving at 12.39pm and 54 seconds.

Kevin, of nearby Penarth, appealed but was told to pay.

He has done so to avoid further costs.
