S40 of the Administration of Justice Act states:

1. A person commits an offence if, with the object of coercing another person to pay money claimed from the other as a debt due under a contract he-
2. harasses the other with demands for payment which, in respect of their frequency, or the manner or occasion of making any such demand, or of any threat or publicity by which any demand is accompanied, are calculated to subject him or members of his family or household to alarm, distress or humiliation;

• falsely represents, in relation to the money claimed, that criminal proceedings lie for failure to pay it;
• falsely represents himself to be authorised in some official capacity to claim or enforce payment; or
• utters a document falsely represented by him to have some official character, or purporting to have some official character which he know it has not.

Which is, as we found out, littered with loop holes.

I once, when my children were very little, challanged an older couple about their parking in a P & C slot in sainsburys only to be told they did have their child with them,,,,,,,aged 30 +

Hehe...I heard a Peter Kay joke about that once - he said that he parks in the P&C spaces when he goes shopping because he takes his mum with him :rotfl:

The point being is that if its so big of an issue and you cant cope without then no you shouldn't be going.

Again 'so i will just leave him at home' no sort out a baby sitter if you couldn't manage without the space.

And kenwick not that it makes an any difference but you seem hung up on work.

I just don't do the easy hours, but then my industry probably isn't as bent and corrupt as yours.

Also i don't drive a mondeo, or a xsara picasso either, a CMAX, a meganne scenic, zafira etc etc :rotfl:

The majority of people are not saying they could not do without the space but that is is a huge help and a benefit when you have a young child to have the use of these wider spaces - now what is the harm in that ???

I'm sure in my local Asda the signs say that the children must require a baby or child seat. I'd love to see Peter Kay try to squeeze into a baby seat :rotfl:.

I'm now particularly enjoying the way that anyone who objects to these spaces on this thread is being labelled a neanderthal an AH which I can assume what the abbreviation is. Now, I'm sorry, but THIS is what I object to - and what this site can be rife with at times - people believing they're better than others just because they have kids, people believing they have the right to insult just because they have kids and the fact that if the ones who disagreed had hurled these insults back - they'd be shouted down and banned from the forums. Yes children are wonderful and precious and should be loved and cherished - but you know, the human race had got on for many many years without being able to park right next to Tesco front door, without the entire world being bubble wrapped and painted in pastel child-friendly colours, without every single pub in the land installing a ball pool etc etc etc. I hate to tell you this - but having kids is not some new thing that this generation is the first in history to cotton onto.

Why don't you try reading the posts. I called him a neanderthal after an unecessary personal attack. If people want to have a sensible debate then no problem. By the way I agree with you about the pub thing. But for god sake. No one is complaining about the distance to the door, I'm yet to read one post that does. It is the space to get them out of the car. AND child seats are a lot larger now. Should we go back as someone put it earlier to sitting children on a seat and putting your arm out to catch them? By the way the topic is also about disabled spaces but that seems to have been forgotten

Some of my observations

Disabled spaces should be used by people who are registered disabled or have a serious lack of mobility. Not by

-People who are faking an injury
-People who are with a disabled person but leave the disabled person in the car
-People who have stopped to go to the cash point
-People who are waiting to pick someone up
-People who are just stopping for 2 minutes to nip in
-People who are not disabled

Parent and Child spaces should be used by parents with babies or very young children who cannot get themselves in and out of a car. Not by...

-People with older children
-People without children
-As disabled
-People who have children but don't have them with them.

Wow! How gobsmackingly, staggeringly selfish is that :mad:

I'm sorry, but someone who is disabled needs that space near the entrance. If all the disabled spaces are full, then the Parent and Child spaces should be available to the disabled.

Presumably you are healthy and agile? And you've just dropped a sprog - Whoopee!! Get over yourself!

I read kernewek's post to mean that it's OK for disabled people to use P&C spaces.
