You see, what you see as "balls" I see as self justification for doing something that you really know is wrong, or selfish, despite your assertion that Tesco condone,...nay encourage it.

It is not judgemental to say that if you are not disabled, then you should not be using a disabled space, it is fact, and therein lies the problem. You clearly can't differentiate between an action which requires "balls" and one which is simply an action to suit your wants, rather than actual needs.

I would be interested to know which store gave you permission to use a disabled space.....but I dont expect you to tell us;) because you know they didn't do it to give you carte blanche to do so every time you want to dont you?, and if they were asked.........:rolleyes:

The layout of the car park is irrelevant, if you have a child you have to keep it safe all the time, not just when you are on a car park, if you can do that, you can manage it on a car park too. Simple really:D

'Balls' meaning, I admitted I do something which is considered taboo. Not because I think it wrong. As I said before, if the store was busy I would not take the last available disabled spot.

Judgemental is calling someone selfish without knowing them. I might be the reincarnation of Mother Teresa for all anyone knows. I am not suggesting anything about anyone judging me for saying I use disabled spaces on the occasion - why the hecky peck would I of said it in the first place?

The layout of the carpark is completely relevant - again something I feel you cannot comment on. However I am more than happy to divulge the store in question - I am not the only Mum the store have told to 'just use the disabled' spots.
The store, in my opinion is a particularly bad one - for example the allow staff to smoke in view of the customers outside the store (oddly enough this is adjacent to the parent and child spaces but hey thats a whole new debate)

So, how can you decide just when disabled people shop? do you leave 1 space, 2 spaces or do you accept that the store has a specific number because that isthenumber they have decided they may need at any one time?

Your action is a selfish one, that suggests you are selfish and have no consideration for others when it suits you.

Why is is relevant? do you not take your children anywhere else where there is traffic,parked cars, bad drivers, or where you have shopping to carry?

So, which store is it?, maybe they would like to comment (to their disabled customers who do need the space) on their ongoing instruction to you?

I agree - under the DDA, Tesco have a duty to keep these spaces free for disabled visitors. They should not be telling anyone they can park there.

I'm sure their disabled customers would have something to say if they knew.

You are someone who parks in disabled spaces even though you are not disabled.

Any way you slice or dice it you are selfish.

I can't decide. I don't take the last available spot. Simple. If a disabled person wants to park in the P&C spot when someone comes out then absolutely good on them!

No. Wrong. I am not selfish in the slightest. My action is to protect my children and yes, to allow me to funtion easier - ie: open my door fully to put my children in. They are to young for me to tell them to wait nicely beside the car whilst I back up out of a tight space to allow them access to the car.


Why is is relevant? do you not take your children anywhere else where there is traffic,parked cars, bad drivers, or where you have shopping to carry?
In a word, No I don't.

Maybe they would - Brandon in Suffolk, Tescos Metro, who have categorically told me they 'can do nothing about it' and 'just park in the disabled'. This amoung many other quotes I could expose.

Try and put some more reasons behind what you are saying - your statement is a little sweeping to say the least.

The problem is if you leave one space and two disabled people arrive you have taken a space that one of them is entitled to.

Do you really never take your children anywhere except Tesco?

hello. do you know what happened in a tescos over in the north of ireland.
I myself have kids so i was around when i saw this happening.
Do you know what happened. There was a traffic warden outside the store. He spent a very long time going round all the spaces that were supposed to be reserved for disabled or for children and he was either putting tickets on the disabled ones that didnt have the badge or giving the people that had no kids a ticking off for parking on the kids parking space.
eeeeeeeeeeeeek sure was a cross traffic warden. I myself just parked in a normal space and walked cus i didnt want to face him. I know i had two small kids, but i would give him the pleasure of peeking through my window at the two baby seats in the car........
There thats the traffic wardens of northern ireland lol
