Tesco now have parking wardens basiclt to stop people parking there and not shopping which is a good idea because sometimes you can't get a space on a saturday epople park there as the doctors is next door and there is a busy tourist attraction nearby so people park there because it's free and now they can't 2 hours free parking only stay any longer and £60 fime all profits go to charity which is good but the 16 year olds all come down on there scooters and got tickets as they wore messing arround and not shopping they use the car park as a gathering point and to race arround or if you park in wrong place like in dissabled bay and not disabbbled you get a ticket and if you park where you should not like outside cash machine or front door and not in a marked bay then you get a ticket so watch out don't park in a tescos and leave the site or park there and don;t shop or park not in a marked bay or disabbled bay and not disabbled you will get a fine and if you appeal well they will say youhave not shoped and left the site or was in disabled bay and had no blue badge which is your fault rearly so watch out a lot of shops are doing this because people are parking there and leaving the site shoopers complain they can't get a space.

Whilst you are welcome as a source of amusement as a ppc troll, could you please get a friend to help you with posts.
I think you might find there are things called punctuation, grammar and spelling.

Blue badges and disabled spaces are quite meaningless in the context of most private store parking.
Parent and child bays are at best marketing gimmicks and at worst an application of an American psychological construct that identifies users as wholly unfit/incapable parents. Maybe social services should be on hand instead of wardens?
Some places are now virtually devoid of cash machines in conventional public space and you don't stand much of a chance of parking there anyway.0 -

That must be the longest sentence on record.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Bad grammar and punctuation aside, I wonder, since some of the heavyweights are reading this post, just what is a fair balance for Tescos et others and parking.
Now bear with me:- I shop at Tesco, partly to save money. If the scenario painted by the OP is real, and I can't park there because of people who have simply used Tesco as a free car park to go to local attractions or any other place, then I may be prevented from shopping there, denying me the opportunity to save a few ££ and Tesco losing my £70 per week shopping bill.
Now I understand that these "fines" are not fines and that there is only a very miniscule chance of one of these charges going to court, and I really loathe the scammers who prey on the unsuspecting in dubious car parking areas as highlighted in many, many posts on this forum, but I wonder just what is the right balance that can keep !!!!!!!!!!s from filling up scarce parking resources provided by retail outlets for their customers.
So, what is a fair way of operating, in your opinion?
(Hope I have spell checked and grammar checked this post!)0 -
I passed out through a lack of oxygen, just after the 8th line, when I read it out loud...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
