Knab Rock Car Park

 - The screen had the sun directly on it which made it nearly impossible to read. Took ages to find the “English” button, pressed the “blue badge holder” button, put in reg no., put in money. Message saying incorrect tariff. Tried three times and was on the point of giving up. A man in the queue had a go and on the third attempt it worked for him but he pressed so many buttons he couldn’t remember how he got it to work!! Useless instructions, very difficult to read when the sun is on the screen, buttons not really clear on what is what. Will avoid in future.

 - Huge queue built up as one machine not working (often is out or order), with each person spending an age trying to get to grips with the poor instructions. I am a resident but when asked to select tariff I was not able to tell which button to press and with the queue building up again, had to go with the visitors tariff - very disappointing and alienating.

 - Awful, complex machines. Spoiled my visit. They feel like they are designed to be arcane and unusable so that hefty fines can be accrued: Turn it on with button Change to English button "Select tariff." Nowhere apparent to do it! So press enter Asks for reg no. put it in. Press enter Returns to start point. Suggests downloading an "app" to a mobile telephone to pay. Ridiculous. I ended up going to the pier car park which has reg in- money in - get ticket. Like it should be. Were it not for the normal machines at the pier car park we would have left the town.
