I'd just like to say a very big thankyou to the Elderly Selfish man who yesterday decided to park in the only available Parent and child space at my local hospital, even though there were disabled spaces available a few metres away. You were obviously very ill and needed to park those few feet nearer the entrance. I realised this as I sat and watched you finish your cigarette before you sauntered off looking very pleased with yourself. I only hope that when you next have to go to said hospital that you are forced to park as far away as possible from the entrance, after all you'll have time you want to smoke as you walk to the entrance. Having read all the complaints about misuse of disabled bays, my sympathy has now gone out the window after yesterdays incident.

That aside, a big thankyou to the parking attendant, who advised that there was nothing he could do about the said selfish elderly male and that it was regular occurence but then found me a large enough parking space to be able to get my little baby out of the car and to his appointment and also told me not to buy a parking ticket. What a star, if only more people were as thoughtful as him.

Merry Xmas Everyone.

Things like this really wind me up, if a parent was to park in a disabled spot then all hell would break lose.
The ammount of times ive seen people get moaned at for parking in disabled spaces and yet when people with no children park in parents & child spaces nothing get said :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Perhaps he was collecting someone from the hospital and needed to park as closely as possible - your rant gives the impression that the disabled spaces are further away from the entrance than the parent and child spaces. Perhaps he was even collecting his son or daughter so was parked quite legitimately in the parent and child space - I've never noticed an age limit on them. Perhaps he was collecting his daughter and her new baby. Perhaps he had the blue badge in his car but it isn't for him and he didn't want to dishonestly take up a disabled space. There are many, many things you don't know and perhaps should consider next time before your blood pressure rises.

The age limit is usually 5

That is due to at least 2 things;-

1. P&c spaces are not legally enforcable.
2. Disability,unlike parenthood is not a choice.

its doesnt matter the spaces are there for a reason!

Not a particularly valid,nor legally enforcable reason. Therefore it is not the same at all, as those who abuse disabled spaces.

im sure you would all be moaning if a parent hit you car with the door while struggling to get the baby seat out.
