Hi Michael, I did get approached on Saturday by a confused looking man with a beard (?) at the car park, asking if it was paid parking or not. Was that you? Welcome to the Isle of Man! Your best bet is to avoid Douglas entirely. If you do have to venture in, I'd also use the M&S car Park like Declan said. There are multiple stories and you can take a lift which leads to the M&S entrance, which also leads out into Strand Street.
