Woah woah woah dim-no, back up there a min...stop typing and engage your brain....can you do that and breath at the same time?

We're talking about other people opening their doors onto our cars......not parents opening their doors on our cars, that only came up when "they" whinged about using their precious P&T.....I'm saying why should we park at the other end of the car park? because we want to keep out cars the way we paid for them? I'm saying i'll park in the wider spaces to stop it happening to mine.....then when touchy parents say, "But I need them because I have children and need more room for the doors" I can say why don't you park further away so your prams, trollies don't get in the way of other people trying to get round the car park....

As for the excersise statement.....did you think of that all on your own?

 

Congratulations....30 whole people in your office and 100k worldwide!!

They provide them for kiddies.....so the parents don't take advantage of it?!?
Like I say, have a good hard think about what your saying then realise thats it's all selfish....no right or wrong.....just first come first serve...

So have a tw@t back....I'm sure it's not the first time....

 

Don't know how old you are but when I was young they didn't have P&C spaces but we didn't need them because we didn't have baby/child seats in cars either - you just sat on your Mum's knee.

 

Old enough to remember no P&T spaces.....but I still had car seats......though I do remember rear seat belts not having to be worn.....

 

Cars were much narrower in those days as well.

If you have children you will know that a few extra inches in order to be able to lean in and put a belt around a child can be a godsend. Try and think about someone who may have just had a child and recovering from a c section and is still finding it difficult to walk very far due to having their stomach cut apart.

Even for the parents who are not physically restricted, being able to swing the door open without having to worry about their own car and another person's car in order to get their children into the car quickly and out of the way of a dangerous car park (after all, full of cars and limited visibility) is what p+c spaces are for.

So parking away from the store is not as easy as it sounds, car parks are dangerous and trying to keep hold of two or maybe three children can be interesting to say the least.

I'll only use them if I have my youngest with me(2 years), as at that age she has no common sense with regard traffic. If I'm on my own or have my eldestI park away from the store.

To state that these spaces are selfish is beyond comprehension, unfortunately we seem to be living in a "me me me" world.

 

I like to completely take the **** and always make a point of parking across two mother & child parking bays whenever possible

 

Hear, hear.
It's not only the distance you have to shepherd a child across the carpark, although this is very significant because most carparks do not include any sort of footway across them; but also that you don't want to leave an unattended child in an unlocked car with all your shopping any longer than necessary. It's just common courtesy, like letting a pregnant woman have your seat on the bus

 

Oh I give my seat up to pregnant women and have more manners than most people, but i'll still stick to my guns saying if my parents had to make do, and to save the dents on my car, I will continue to park in these bays....

You may say it's the same principle as giving a seat up but i'm not worried about standing, however I spend a lot on my car keeping it the condition it's in and don't see why I should have to suffer to have something nice....

lol at EF

 

or better still go and have 10 pints and spu the lot into his heating grill so he can smell your mess and reflect on his attitude

 

Lol, not this again. Anyone mentioned those lucky disabled people..?

 

T.O.G,

Your point about parents not having them in their day IS possibly correct, - but an invalid argument, due to the fact that they only came about when the BIG supermarkets were built. They did not just mark them out, in front of the local Co-op convenience store.

The supermarkets from 20 years ago, were not of the same design as todays mega-outlets, and were not designed and built with these spaces (from day one).

 

yeah always banging their crutches into my doors

 

There's nothing wrong at all taking up 2 car parking spaces as long as the area you do it in is quite empty and a fair bit away from the main doors. If I know for sure if the person next to me has dinged my door then I'm afraid they end up with a bigger mark on their door.

 

You are just flat wrong there....
Maybe not where you live/grew up but the shopping centres such as Tesco's and the like near me, that i've been to since I was a child, never had them....and it wasn't until recently (5 years or so) that they put them in.....

So they weren't built to accomodate these spaces as you yourself put it, but they add them in anyway.....making it harder for the rest of us....

So it's far from an invalid argument, it's just a poor atttempt to change an opinion when both views are neither wrong or right.....

 

Really peeeeeeed off at the moment, I took my Scooby for new brakes down to my mates garage and his oppo down there tripped over the gearbox stand and it crashed into my car putting a BFO dent in the door, not a happyTeddy at the mo. They are picking up the tab for the repair but even so

 

No you're wrong because luckly I won't have to give birth, and if I do have to take my child shopping and if I don't get and extra wide spot, i'll have to park further away and have to carry him or her....unlike what you say, i'm not worried about exercise.......

The inconsiderate, selfish ***** as you so put it, are people like you who can't see the fact that we do the same thing for different reasons....
You park there because you have a child and need the extra room......I park there because I don't want my doors dented and allow for other peoples moronic behavior or incapability to open their own doors....

So don't get on your high horse dim-no....there arn't any horse parking spaces....

 

I do all the advertising in supermarkets all over the north west, and even when parking my van i take care not to touch any cars. Even if its a ****ter. I've had it a few times off coffin dodgers mainly tw@tting the door a couple of times then giving me daggers when i tell them to watch the van.

I have parked in parent & child bays but i like to call them big person/ little person. And seeing as how i'm a bit of a short *** and my mates are all about 6ft 2 i class that as not taking the ****.


Triple O'G for prime minister

 

Too ******* right.....

Pro's for voting for me:

Get your tax back because you earnt the money in the first place, why pay for others to have an easy life.

Cut road tax by half because the roads are getting worse, not better.

Only have speed camera's in danger zones

Con's:

You loose all 5ft11" 19 year old virgins with 32dd's, size 8 everything else, with green/blue eyes (i'm not fussy) to me

Simple

 

I'd prefer a tight 19 yo female virgin to a loose one

 

I'm suprised you feel like that, I'd have thought we've had enough of ****** leading the country.

 

Lucky you're not going for it then ay.....

 

This all reminds me of a Monty Python sketch of 'when we were young ....." didn't have them parking spaces anyway enjoy

Four Yorkshiremen Sketch

Monty Python


Four well-dressed men sitting together at a vacation resort.

Michael Palin: Ahh.. Very passable, this, very passable.
Graham Chapman: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine, ay Gessiah?
Terry Gilliam: You're right there Obediah.
Eric Idle: Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?
MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.
GC: A cup ' COLD tea.
EI: Without milk or sugar.
TG: OR tea!
MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.
EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.
GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
TG: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.
MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness."
EI: 'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.
GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!
TG: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!
MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.
EI: Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US.
GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!
TG: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.
MP: Cardboard box?
TG: Aye.
MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!
GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
TG: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.
EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."
MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
ALL: Nope, nope..

 

My 7 year old would do a come back like that!

Lame.

 

Put his Number up on here, if he`s denying it.

I`m up at all hours, he`ll get fed up before me

If anybody else wishes to join in the more the merrier, eh.

 

1. When I go shopping, to make my parking in the p+t bit guilt-free, I always try and take my mum with me - there's no age limit signs anywhere. (She's 74)

2. Children under 10 shouldn't be allowed in supermarkets anyway, as they are bored rigid and make for an unpleasant shopping experience for me as I have to listen to the little ***** squealing all the way round.

3. You have to accept that your car is going to get damaged at some point in some way - it's the age we live in. The only way to keep it pristine is to keep it in the garage.

4. The only way yr car will never get damaged in a car-park is to make the spaces bigger. Even then, some thoughtless t0sser will squeeze by with his shopping bags and multi-zipped cargo pants (lincoln)

 

Although this is steroetyping, would be not be happier with mothers parking in a wide space - they would be less likely to hit someone else as they throw open the doors!!

 

Like it was stated above, if you want more space, go take up two spaces the other side of the car park. It solves your car park ding issue.

The only reason not to, would be laziness on your part.


What are your views on basket only or 10 items or less isles. I take it they should also be banned in Supermarkets as your Mum never had them when she was at Tescos.

All of these things could stop a mother dropping her kid on his head and leaving him with a psychological deficiency that would give him a complex and..................


Hang on a minute!!!!!!!!
