Where to Park?
Nothing to do with LoCosts but I often have to go out on business with colleagues and we normally try to meet up somewhere so we share a car for the
majority of the journey.
Trouble is where to leave a car all day safely.
Motorway service areas are an obvious choice but they tend to restrict parking to 2-hours and I'm always a bit concerned about getting back to a
big parking charge (or a clamp).
I wondered if it would be possible to use members local knowledge to somehow set up a database of recommended places.
It's probably impractical but I'd certainly find it very useful.

National Car Parks? Or are they too expensive?
As stated - try the Park and Ride car parks - they are often ludicrously cheap 
OR - if you're really cheeky (like me) I would use TRAVELODGE / LITTLE CHEF car parks - constant stream of people and no clampers

John,
I often have to do the same thing - like suggestions above we look for out of town superstores. Never had any problems so far.

Supermarkets are best. I know of a few people that do it.
