Can anyone identify this?

http://www.geocities.com/john_banana/CanSomeoneIdentifyThis.html?1201470914171

It's a visitor's permit allowing a car to be parked, perhaps in an office 
complex, perhaps in a private block of flats or apartments.

I need to find out where it was issued.

It was found in my car and I need to find out where it came from in order to 
determine where my car was on the date in question and equally where it 
wasn't. It might also lead me to find who was driving it.

I suspect that it it is most likely to be Cardiff Bay.

I will reward the first person who helps me correctly identify this with a 
slap up meal for you and your partner.

If anyone knows people who might recognise this ticket, such as parking 
attendants, taxi drivers or security guards who work in the Cardiff area 
then please could you forward this link to them.

Many thanks

JB

Just plain blue.

I've asked around a few caretakers of flats in the Bay and they don't 
recognise it.
They all seem to think it might be a pub or a hotel.

Is the watermark profesional or just printed on?

It's all printed onto the paper and looks like something anyone could knock 
up on a pc so I doubt if it's a government agency. Cardiff City Council 
don't recognise it.
It suggests to me that it is a small company carpark, a hotel, a resident's 
association ....... that kind of thing.

I am guessing that it's Cardiff based on some circumstantial evidence. There 
is a chance it could be from somewhere else. At worst it will be from 
somewhere along the A470 corridor between Merthyr and Cardiff.

Since there are no real identifiable marks on it I basically need to spread 
it far and wide until someone does recognise it.

I thought 'homemade' too, carpark split into two, no apostrophe in 
"visitor's", no logo and is that
visitors_car_park_permit DOT pub at the bottom right - if so someone has 
  knocked it up on MS Publisher and thats the file name.
If not, its a permit for a pub!

In either case you may be stuck as they may have only knocked up a weeks 
worth for a busy period, done the rest in a different colour or changed 
the style completely.

I don't think it is home-made. If it were, then it's likely that the 
date would be pre-entered.
'Car Park' uis two words, not one, so that is correct on the permit.
Sadly, as far as the apostrophe is concerned,  it is often omitted even 
from such 'official' forms as this, and even if the form is 
professionally printed... especially where there may be some confusion, 
in this case between
"Vistors' Car Park" (more than one visitor) or 
"Visitor's Car Park" (Singular)

As for the Visitors Car Park Permit Pub... I would suggest that the 
'Pub' is more likely to stand for 'Public'.

Not if its somewhere like a beach, or forest drive where they might get 
a million visitors one day and none for a week, easier to scribble in as 
you go along.
I know people who print tickets and the watermark is usually embossed in 
foil, and any professionally printed one would have the logo of the user 
AND somewhere - the name and phone of the printers

Dunno, if they can waste lots of letters for most of the phrase why 
abbreviated just Pub, they have lots of empty space and plenty of ink.

That "watermark" reminds me of the small printing on my road fund 
licence.

It's not the DVLC, perchance?

You misunderstand. I don't think it's professionally printed for a 
specific  purpose. However I don't think it's home made. I think it's an 
off the shelf 'one size fits many' type of ticket.

In that case perhaps it is a pub attached to something else... ie there 
are several car parks within one 'attraction' (for want of a better 
word) and this is the car park attached to the pub.

My money's on pub as opposed to pri.
Don't suppose we'll ever know though.

Nah - on the wrong track completely.

When I looked at the date on the ticket I thought - 2 years ago.
I forgot we were now in 2008 when I replied to you.

yes, knob!

It looks like the University car park to me, just around from the museum.
