£50 PARKING SHOCK FOR SHOPPER
Diane Payne, an Isfield teacher, said: 'I shopped in Tesco on and then left, looking for somewhere to have a coffee.
I couldn't find anywhere in the town centre so I went back to Tesco and spent 1 hours in the coffee shop.

'I could have returned because I wanted to do some more shopping. I'm not paying and I'm not going to patronise Tesco any more.'
Later, after a call from the Express, a spokesman for Tesco said: 'We are sorry for any distress caused. If the lady goes to the customer service desk, the fine will be rescinded.'
