Today i went to the local supermarket and went to find a parent and child space ! was tipping with rain (i have a 2 door car)

Might I suggest a 4 door car.

Or perhaps try Tesco online.

I would have shown a more sympathetic attitude to the old disabled person.

If it was a wider space, that's probably why, they don't want their nice car damaged! :mad:

No the spaces opposite are wider, they used to be disabled spaces till they changed the car park around...;)

That's in your opinion, but it's also my opinion that it's your choice to have kids and shouldn't be given priority parking over other people because you made that choice. It's not my fault you made that choice. But it's my choice to have a 4x4.

This thread is about parking spaces not how much fuel my car uses funnily enough :undecided

Steph ignore the 4x4 haters, what you should do is park in the middle of two spaces, that really gets their goat, if your really lucky they will put "your 4x4 is killing polar bears" stickers on your car :rotfl:

So you have more sympathy towards an old 'disabled' person who whilst we dont know her disability can at least walk, than a child with special needs who definately needs assistance ??

standard ignorant response . . . .

A) i cannot afford to upgrade my car as at present I am not working

I was only going in for a few top up items not a full shop - Tesco wont deliver a few times

C) disabled badge she carried - how do we know she was disabled and not using someone elses badge or one of the people who apply for blue badges and get them granted under false pretences.

I was going into Tesco yesterday when a big black jeepie think pulled into a parent and child space and young exec type jumped out, I said "have you left your child alone in the car ? " he went back and moved it LOL.

i park my car in p & t space at tesco all the time get the odd stropy mum with kids moaning but saves getting doors wacked by bad drivers (normally fat people or oap)

I suppose that depends more on the distance and the amount of shopping you have to get. Sometimes that would not be feasible for some people, but if just getting a couple of bits and store is 10-15 minute walk it would be.

We do all our shopping on foot. It's about a 15 minutes walk (with a 6 year old).

However, shortly we've moving house (tomorrow) and we'll be about 3 minutes' walk from the supermarket.

Or just run a key along the offside ?

My mum parked in a parent and child space with me today, I'm 25 should have seen the dirty looks we got even though she came round my side with a wheelchair and off loaded me onto it along with oxygen canister and huge bag of crap that's needed when I leave the hospital for more than 10 minutes!

As a non driver my supermarket rants are a bit different to others on here. I walk with my little 'uns to Sainsburys and back and what gets me is the amount of drivers that ignore the zebra crossing and sail on past us standing there waiting to cross at Sainsburys (I should add that the blokes always stop, it is the women that ignore me!). My second moan is parking on the kerbs by where the delivery lorries drive (as it's close to Homebase) so that I have to walk in the road to get past.

I enjoyed that mini rant. Thanks! xx
