So based on the fact I have taken a different angle of the debate, based on the fact that I did something I was advised to do by Tesco and based on the fact I made a childish remark (which I am sure gave a few a giggle;)) which was in no way rude, did not contain any swear words [ sniggers] and was not aimed at hurting any individuals feelings...you have concluded, that I am 'ruining' life for others in this country?

You see what really makes me laugh is that whenever a debate begins people resort to getting angry and labelling (I am after all - 'selfish')
Nobody on here knows who I, or anyone else for that matter is; so if the debate can continue in a sensible manner (without me saying 'pop it up your bottom' to anyone included :rotfl:) I will continue, however I will ignore the sweeping statements regarding how I look after my children, how I have to shop regarding my circumstances and anyone generalising my character based on an internet (note the work interent) debate.

Nope its nothing to do with that. It was the tone and content of your posts on this subject. It showed exactly what kind of person you are whether you meant it to or not.

Personaly I don't think DaisyClaire is doing something terrible, I think Tesco team gave her bad advice about parking in a disabled space.

I think all of us have a capacity for improvement (me especialy - I can be a total numpty sometimes and am old enough to know better). Ithink people are getting defensive and digging in (note I am pot and kettle here).

But like I always say before judging someone walk a mile in their shoes, then you are a mile away and have their shoes.

I have a question for all about parent and child places in any supermarket.

How young/old does the child have to be?

Can there be two adults with the child/children?

I ask as yesterday I saw a couple with a boy who must be 13 using a space.

I think the sign in my local Asda says children should either be 7 or under or require a booster seat. Presumably the 13 year old in question was 'vertically challenged'?

Pot, that kettle has had its looks improved by the introduction of electricity. Contrary to your assertation, it doesn't have to sit on a sooty fire.

Would you like to elaborate?

biscit

No, no it was a fairly clear play on a common metaphor

Would you like to apply the analogy to my quote in more simplistic or perhaps more pertinently, more honest terms?

In other words have the courage of your convictions and say what you mean, spit it out, call a spade a spade.

biscit

Nothing dishonest about my terms. I had moved on but...

I was playing on the phrase "that's like the pot calling the kettle black" which everyone knows is about two soot blackened cooking implements sitting on a fire. I substitued the old kettle for a brand new, non blackened electric one.

That's like the pot calling the kettle black... when the kettle is actually a very pale shade of grey and the pot is deepest black. You were calling someone's behaviour unpleasant which was a bit rich given the tone of your own postings.

I am aware of the phrase I am also aware of the connotation, however the way you phrased it, and continue to phrase it, is still fudging the issue.

So, I will do it for you. Are you saying, or implying, that my posts are in the same vein as the person I was commenting on? That is, rude, exhibiting selfish traits, uncaring etc? if so, please quote the posts where I have exhibited these traits, bearing in mind the poster told me to "pop it up my bottom"!!!!

biscit

I am clearly stating that while the person you were commenting on had a small problem with their attitude, they remained fairly sunny if a little jockular.

Your own manner continues to be deeply hostile and agressive throughout the thread.

Someone post something on topic please.
