We got picked up from Manchester airport yesterday by a friend...what a rip off, we waited just outside the arrivals car park here where the BMW is:

A guy came over and said "You're not getting picked up here are you?", to which I replied "Yes, we will be literally throwing the cases in the boot and driving off", "You can't, it's a £60 fine, there are cameras all over here and it's my job to report it as well, the driver will get a fine through the post, you need to go into the arrivals car park". The f-er then stood there waiting around, not wanting to chance my mate getting a fine I phoned him and told him to go into the car park. We were in the car park for about 30 seconds, got to the exit and £4 flashed up to exit the car park...I gave him four pound coins! No slot for them!!! He pushed the button for help...Turns out the only payment method was credit/debit card!!! UNLESS you walk over to the main airport and buy a ticket out of the machine, then walk back to the car!!! Which is stupid as by this point we had 2 other cars sitting behind us! Luckily my wife had brought her debit card for emergencies whilst we were away.
