Lighten up, it was a humourous thread and really doesn't need breaking down and analysing like this.

Que? You think I was being serious? Major sense of humour failure methinks.

Why reply then?

If it's a troll, It's an a+++++++ because you replied.

Otherwise, it's more to ask if others have seen this happening (old person left in car).

It's borne more from some 50 something lazy person using the parent and child spaces at Tesco whilst leaving an elderly relation cooped up in a car on a warm day.

A day where the RSPCA would break into a car to remove an animal and prosecute the owner.

Why should you think that only people of 50 or over leave old people in the car?

As I said, for those that got the gist of the original post, good on you.


Nah, lets not just leave it at that. It goes beyond my (poor?) attempt at having a laugh at something I had observed.

I came out of Tescos with my twins whilst awaiting the wife who was at the dentists. The old guy made eye contact, you could see he was bored witless (for w substitute sh) and he was happy something had came along to grab his attention.

I got the doors open and fastened in the kids under his watchful gaze. Gave them a drink and a carrot stick (ok, it was a fudge, but hey ho, nobodys perfect) and put the trolly back.

I sat for a couple of minutes and was aware of him watching us.

He didnt want to be there stuck in a car, but was probably just grateful his son/daughter had taken him out at all.

The whole post wasnt about an old guy in a car, it was about his selfish middle aged children.

should we be concerned that the op fastened his children into their car seats then left them unattened to return the trolly while pondering why an old bloke was staring at him from the next car?

Possibly, but the trolley bay was within 5 yards (1 parking bay)of the securely fastened in kids. Both side doors were open and they were in sight.

Thank you. At least you got it eventually.

Because if they were under 50, they would have left them in the nursing home.
