Near the entrance?

At our Asda, if you don't get one of the four P&C spaces by the front door, the rest of the P&C spaces are at the very far end of the car park ... And yes, I do drive all the way to the end, park, and then push the buggy all the way back to the entrance.

I could probably park closer in a row of empty spaces but, why is it that no matter where I park in an empty car park, somebody always parks next to me? :rotfl:

i would rather they had them at the far end
nice and quiet away from the madness
as long as theres a decent walkway/route to the store

OP, do you have a "baby on board" sticker in your back window?

The answer to the OP's problems

Cheeky! I may well be a man for all you know.

Personally I park as far away from the entrance as possible, even when I have my kid with me, why?

1) Its a little bit of extra exercise.

2) A significant proportion of the British public are semi-literate buffoons who I would not !!!! on if they were on fire. I worked hard to pay for my car and do not appreciate it when some jumped up "Dave" or "Tina" in their Mercedes 4x4 bought on finance rams their door into mine as they try to wedge themselves in the driving seat.

P&C spaces are great. I carry a spare child seat in the boot that I can whip out when there is an empty space.

Supermarket car parks should be sectioned off for each group of people as follows:

Very Back - Old people only. The lengthy walks will convince them to learn how to shop on-line and therefore stop standing idly around blocking the isles in store.

Next from Back - Fat people. They need the exercise. What better incentive to lose weight than to get to park nearer the door.

Next, next from Back - Parents & Kids. A long enough walk back for the little darlings to finish eating whatever sweet/ice cream/donut that they have been bribed with in-store to shut up & behave before they leave the leftovers all over the car. Also gives the security guards a longer distance to catch the chavs that hide their loot in babies prams.

Middle - Disabled spaces. Strategically placed right in the middle to prove that they are not being discriminated against. Also negates the need to borrow anyones blue badge or feign a limp. Lets be honest, if anyone was so severly disabled that they could not make the 50 metres to the store then they should join the old folks and shop on-line.

Next to Front - Female only spaces. For all those women that shop without their kids (or have none). Should just give you enough time to finish the pointless conversation that you will have started 1 hour earlier whilst in store (either in person or on your mobile) before you get in the car. Also gives you a fighting chance of getting into the store before your hair gets ruined.

Front - Unaccompanied Male shoppers. Because we are lazy and do not want to be there. We just want to get in and out as fast as possible and get back to watch the match.


There, problem solved.

What about 45 year old beer-bellied unaccompanied male shoppers?

Do they land in category old, fat or male?
