The only reason those bays are there is to butter up the bigger spenders. If they sold heroin and it was more profitable than baby food, they'd get their own spaces too !

Hmmmmm
You knew it was wrong and got caught - big deal, no parking spaces for you, drive round again or go somewhere else. Simple. You were bang to rights. Take it like a man - no one to blame except yourself

Why did you need to take "a huge 4x4" to this Tescos in the first place.....?
Dont tell me you live on a farm thats 5 miles from a road and had 4 sheep in the back you were taking to market ?

Reading Station....£50 fine for 10 secs parking! My dad took my brother to Reading Station for a train a few days back....he pulled up in a side street to the station, brother jumped out...dad drove off....10 secs max.
Today a photo of the crime and a fine for £50 arrives!!!
Apparently there are signs saying dont drop off etc, even so...seems harsh...how do they even prove the wheels of the car stopped?
Any escape route? (the ticket seems to be from a private firm given the camera/ticket job...not the council)

)cor m8 it waz only a joke, but the spaces do have a pic of a wheelchair cant you see the funny side, dont get all sensitive. I never park in those bays, wouldnt dream of it, cos i know disabled people do drive and need space to manover. there should be women spaces too, cos they cant normally park to save there lives ( i know there are women who can drive perfectly and im one of them, well i think i am, but some shouldnt have a licence.) Im not making fun of the disabled. (this is a woman using a males account so no dis-respect to anyone.)

paul_m - don't worry, I could tell you were joking. The trouble is, if you don't use emoticons, people take it literally 
As imlach mentioned, if someone ignores the parking regulations, don't let it worry you, why should you let their selfish ignorance become your problem.
Having said that I do worry that I have a problem with Tiggs consistently being a ****

Daryl, ~Thanks just wanted Simo to know that i wernt taking the **** of of disables peeps. and as this is my b/f account i shouldnt be giving his account a bad name 
altough he is a bad man, makes me walk miles so his car dont get damaged. if some one saw his car parked in the mddle of no-where so no damaged could occur then they are more likely to put some dents-scratches in it. arnt they? well some body please tell him to park at least 1 mile near to where we are gong ! Thanks

Next time I find a Corrado parked next to me in a normal slot in a Tesco car park, and Lotus Elises in the parent and toddler spaces (like today...) leaving me no room to wrangle babies & pushchairs/shopping etc, I'll JUST DING YA DOOR. This will then prove the point that pesky parents genuinely NEED this space to get the doors WIDE open to swing and buckle up children into the fiddly safety seats - esp if they are kicking off/tired/grouchy
. Maybe then you wont think we are the pampered selfish elite - FFS...Christ! You probably hate special seats for the elderly on buses - after all if they can GET to a bus...

. Maybe then you wont think we are the pampered selfish elite - FFS...As someone who does have experience, I often don't even bother trying for a parent & child space, cos they're always full of ***** who don't need them....
Personally, I can get said child out of car fine in a normal space. You just park further away from the entrance. It's not that hard really......didn't have parent & child spaces when I was a lad, and I seem to remember my parents coping ok
Honestly, does everyone need nannied, pampered, and 'cotton-wooled' in their lives these days?

No, I'm not a parent (thank God).
No, I haven't been in a nightclub for over 10 years.
No, I don't have a Corrado (or an Elise). I used to have a Corrado, now the G/F does.
Ding my door and I'll wedge your childseat up your @ss.
No, I don't object to special seats for the elderly on buses. A bit irrelevent to someone who hasn't been on a bus in over 15 years.
Yes, I do enjoy winding people up
FWIW, if (and it's rare) I need to shop at busy times I park my Scoob well away from the doors and try to make use of the spaces near me difficult. If however I shop at my usual time (5am to avoid as much contact with braindead ordinary folk as possible) then I use the P&C bays as I doubt very much there'll be many breeders up at that time.

Imlach you may have a special method to swing the door out to its full extent in a normal parking space that I do not know of, and I dont really say I 'need' that parent and child space in a needy sad way!!! But its hardly too much to ask a youngster compared to a wobbly 15 month old to walk an extra few feet to the shop is it - especially as this protects EVERYONE's doors from the dreaded dings.
I'd say we were all quids in myself - especially if my toddler was kicking the door from the inside towards your motor (not that my li'l angel would...).
I see it as an irrelevant semi-inconvenience to the childless and quite useful to the parent - and guess what I've been BOTH!

I'm not saying the spaces aren't useful, but anyone with a bit of gumption and common sense does not NEED them.
...or are you generally so helpless & needy in other areas of life as well

If you find them so offensive, then why not **** off and make a "personal choice" to shop elsewhere.
And perhaps when you go grocery shopping your job is simply to bring back a 5kg bag of pasta and 7 jars of value pasta sauce, or a packet of frozen burgers to to sustain you for the week. I'd rather decide together, as a family, what we'll eat after perusing the fresh produce on offer.

On your 2nd point, I have in the past exercised that "personal choice", for instance when Safeway offered a 10% discount to anyone shopping with a sub 5yr old. I didn't shop there until over 1yr after the promotion had failed and gone.
On your 3rd point, please don't assume I am some retarded dullard. I eat a mostly organic diet consisting of much fresh veg and meat, purchased from local farms. I'd suggest if you want your family to eat fresh produce that you avoid supermakets. I only use them for basic packaged goods and cleaning products.
