Red face Special Needs Parking!

So Morrisons have just won Retailer Of the Year award for 2004 - and jolly well done to them - or so I thought until today...

Today while searching for a parking space at said retailer, I passed a sign that said "Disabled Spaces this way" and "Special Needs Spaces this way"...

Special Needs spaces - distinctly different to disabled???

Now I know there's been threads about parking spaces before that have got hotter than Barry Whites underpants at a Miss World contest, but stay with me here...

WTF qualifies someone to park in a special needs space? A few bad GCSE grades? A lisp? A nissan micra???

How on earth to the trolley dolleys police this little beauty and is it really worth the effort? Tomorrow I will park there and if approached I will impersonate goonies star Chunk...

Unbe chuffin leavable....

I suppose it wil mean people that are mentally impaired, those that can walk but are liable to thrash their arms about at any given time and maybe walk into the path of a vehicle if they aren't close to the store.

The shíts would warrant similar treatment, allowing for the quickest entrance and exit route though.

They could even try spaces for "New Stilleto Shoe Wearers" maybe?

You'd be better impersonating sloth instead of chunk, unless you put on some serious weight and did the "truffle shuffle" when people approached you hahahaha
