Parked more than 50cm from kerb. Norbury Grove, Barnet. Code 26

I can't believe this, I haven't had a parking ticket for a good
15 years or more. Now I get 2 in as many weeks!
This is the first ever known parking ticket ever issued in this
little cul-de-sac. My neighbour called me to let me know a guy
came round on a scooter & put a ticket on my car.
I'll post images & PCN in a sec. Yes the back of the car is
about a meter away from the kerb, but it's on a tight roundabout
and there's a car behind me. The front of the car is well within
50cm, I took a tape measure to it.
Nothing in the CEO's photos showing how he measured the distance
to the kerb.
Ironically I park like that out of consideration to my
neighbours because there's plenty of space at the top of the
roundabout, because those houses have driveways. Then I tuck the
front in tight so people can get round.
This is really strange, could someone have reported my car?

The accusation is that part of the car was more than 50cm, which
you admit. The fact that other parts were within 50cm isn't
really relevant.

Actually, the whole car must be more than 50cm away.

Thanks for the replies.
This is what it says online.
26 - Parked in a special enforcement area more than 50 cm from
the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking
place
Apart from the ticket itself, I'm really more shocked that
someone has come here just to give me a ticket. I mean, I'm a
polite and friendly kind of fella, but I sure must have upset
the universe somehow this week!
This from Barnet Council
Where parking restrictions are in place:
[li][i]parking more than 50 cm from the edge of the carriageway
if not in a designated parking space

When I say tight, I mean its a tight manoeuvre getting around
the car thats behind me in a way that will keep the back of the
car close to those godawful railings without going further
forward and thus leaving less space for someone else to park in
front of me.
I guess I better warn my other neighbours now because this kind
of how we all park in that space.

Stupid pcn, it isn't a contravention, every time I park more
than 50% of my car is more than 50cm from the edge of the
carriageway as my car is more than 1m wide. The contravention
exists to deal with double parking. Email me at
mrmustard@zoho.com and I will challenge the pcn and file a
complaint with the parking manager

Thanks, that's very kind of you!
I'll send it when I get home from work tonight. Hopefully no
bloody parking ticket tonight!
