    I park in the parent and child spaces lol. Got fed up with people opening their doors into my cars! So since I got my new car last october, I park in them when I go. Figure the odd £60 fine is cheaper than removing dents! Although haven't been fined.....yet!!

    Have to say, working at tesco, we don't fine cars for parking in the mother and baby/disabled bits. But we do get alot of complaints from angry customers who have 'only been tehre 5 mins' to return to their car and it have key scratches down it, so likely an angry parent has done it. Of course, they complain and we can't do anything about it.

    You're making exactly the same point as I did, albeit a day or 2 later.

  • and for those questioning the need of parent and child spaces...it's very hard to find a parking space big enough for a large car, to be able to get in at both sides to unload twins, and be close enough to the store to be able to leave the kids in the car and go on the hunt for a trolley for twins, which are usually inside the store. I don't want to have to leave my babies on the other side of the car park whilst I hunt for a trolley.

  • what a long and amusing thread (although the fine for the OP is problay not so funny!).
    i do feel that the spaces should be kept free, but they can only really impose a fine if they police the carpark (someone said that a few pages back already!)

    i had my car hit in a council carpark which had lots of signs up in it to say it had CCTV and an attendant (but things were still left at our own risk). Someone smashed into the side of the car - i blame a chelsea tractor myself, but the CCTV was too poor to be able to pick up the incident, let alone the number plate. i was not amused!!

    in any normal parking situation, a parking attendant has to watch the offending car for 10 minutes or something to see if you come back before they can give you a ticket (or have i made that up?!). why are these rules not applied to supermarkets?
