This is what I see btw, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong.

Trying to paste from imgur but images don't show.

So when you upload an image to imgur, you can click the 3 dots next to the image, click "get share links", and then copy the BBCode link.
Then when you are typing out a post on this forum you can copy paste the text you got from imgur to imbed the image on a BBS forum.

So what makes you think a sign only 5 metres away is poor signage ? What standard do you think the council should apply ?

That came across wrong: I don't think it's poor signage. What I'm asking is whether there's a way to get away with it because of some potential council error on the street. It happens sometimes, e.g. I won against a PCN that was issued whilst parked on an EV bay without charging, because the whole legislation and signage were out of order.
We're not miracle workers here, although with some cases it may appear so ! Once we've looked at the PCN and the location, (GSV view), and the council's website and PCN evidence,  an opinion can be given.

I forgot my car parked through Sunday to Monday morning under my flat on a single yellow line and I've got a ticket.

Although I know I shouldn't have parked there, I wonder if there's a way of getting away due to poor signage.

My car was where the empty space is in the pic and some 5 meters away is the sign.

Location Camden, West Hampstead.
