    Why bring your dog shopping? Leave it at home.

    People seem to see it fit to tell us to leave our kids at home.
    exactly the point i was going to make, you beat me too it! x

  • I don't see many people having 'fun' with their kids in the supermarkets! Most are bored about being dragged round, screaming thier heads off or running round under peoples feet!
    Perks I pay for... hmmm.. schooling, free prescriptions, benefits.. could go on and on but I would bore myself lol :)
    I don't want to sound horrid but just wanted to make my points. I have no wish to join the parent community ..... yet! and yes I am sure my attitude will change then.. but everyones entitled to an opinion. :)


    Life is sometimes a bit pants but occasionally you can wear your french knickers! :D

    But it will be MY kids who pay for your pension and healthcare after retirement.
    Can I help?
  • This is true :)

    I think its great that they are doing this. I saw two fatties parking in a disabled bay at Tescos today just so they didnt have to walk the extra whole 10 yards!

    You sure its not a spoof ticket? As far as I know you aren't illegally parked in a supermarket car park for parking in a mother and toddlers space or a disabled bay, just morally wrong. I find it hard to believe that Supermarkets would try to drive away customers with fines. Check its genuine before paying. I know some have time limits to stop people parking and going to work but this sounds a bit suspect.

    Depends if the car park is 'managed'

    eg: euro car parks now run my tescos.


    Bound to offend half the site with this but i'm a believer in equality to the true sense of the word. IE: No priority parking for anyone. No special queues. Etc etc. Everybody should have an equal chance. Why should somebody with a gammy leg or a toddler with them (don't they have trollies for this?) be given a priority parking space right by the door when i have to park 3 miles around the corner in the next available space?

    Wow your Asda must be massive.
    Work like you don't need money,
    Love like you've never been hurt,
    And dance like no one's watching
    Save the cheerleader, save the world!
