Default Supermarket lovers...so much for the free big car park

Ah,now they have a captive audience it seems the charging has begun.Ours is now a Pay and Display.Seems the 'come and buy our stuff and park for free ' might be over.

Still reckon their meat is lousy too

Our local asda is a pay and display but the council have forced asda to charge. bad really as it used to be free so asda now say if you shop there they'll give you your money back. Must cost Asda a fortune to do that though.

It just makes shopping online even more attractive.

Usually it's inner-city/town supermarkets which charge to discourage people parking there to shop elsewhere.

In Northampton, we have a Morrisons in town which is pay and display, but they give the money back if you shop there, plus they make you put £1 in the trolley to make sure you're not a chav and are going to chuck it in the canal or something.

I always thought a £ for a trolley was a bargain!

Asda in Wolverhampton is P&D and has been for ages... Right next to the Molineux so understandable. They have clampers there too I think!!
