I have never really found the carparks to be that bad which is why I can't take this seriously :rotfl: By the way, you were lucky to go back to your car and find your bikes were still there0 -
i always park my car in two spaces admittidley well away from the entrance because i got fed up getting parking dents,and last week got a call on the store tannoy asking me to move my car,i just pointed to the sign outside the door saying no responsability for loss or damage to you vehicle if its is parked here,like i said to the manager you can not police it with one hand and deny responsability with the other.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

..........so if a motorcyclist parks parallel to your car in the remaining part of the bay which you have left empty, and accidentally kicks (and thus dents) your door with his (or her!!) heavy footwear on dismounting from the motorcycle........that would be okay by you??
I guess not??!!0 -

I would agree that parking in a disabled bay without a badge should result in immobilisation and a £20 release charge. But I can't get very excited about parent & child bays. Why are they so necessary? Many of their users at my local Asda have kids aged 10 or more, not babies. Once I was so appalled that I used one when there with my daughter. She is 17:D[/quote]
I do so agree with you. When I was fit enought to drive I use to park in the parent and children spaces as I has my Mum with me. I was watched once by some one in Safeways carpark and I was hoping they would come over and tell me I shouldn't park as this was reserved for parents and children. As far as I'm aware no one ever told me how old the parents and children should be.:beer:Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.0 -

maybe the people that hit your car are the parents with young children who have had to park there because all the p&b spaces are being used by people who dont need to use them:rolleyes::j Baby boy Number 2, arrived 12th April 2009!:j0 -

Nope, it's stopped since I started parking in the c&p bays! :rotfl:
I wasn't gonna say anything, but all these manhood jokes, well i wouldn't wanna mention the fact maybe all the dents come from the attempts at women's parking?!?!:j
