''I was doing my weekly shop with my baby daughter and as anyone who deals with young children will be aware, this makes for a longer shopping trip. However, on this occasion, after leaving the store it became obvious that my daughter needed fed, which I then did ...in the car before leaving, thus, it would seem, extending our carpark stay beyond the limited time.''

Well, in Scotland it is actually ILLEGAL - a real criminal offence, not a civil matter - to stop a baby being given milk (even from a bottle!) which effectively issuing a charge is without doubt attempting to do. Aldi are liable for the actions of their agent, criminal actions too of course. Could someone tell her this please and give her this link:

By happy coincidence i was there yesterday.
Aldi was akin to a ghost town in compaison to Asda next door.
Perhaps PE are having an effect afterall.

Oh dear - while it won't surprise regulars, here's proof that some Aldi staff really are criminals :

In all fairness I was in haulage and sitting waiting to get in somewhere doesn't pay the bills, I would have moved it too, and have done! Even if it was their own vehicle sitting around for 4 hours would cost a lot. However I found a few blocks of wood and a stacker truck did it without damage.

Ratchet strap on towing eye and drive forward a few meters.

Now whoever did it could be looking at a criminal charge.

I can't believe she thought it was fine to park right next to a loading bay access road because there was no DYLs or signs.

This crosses the boundary to criminality I'm afraid.

As this was a Chorley location, surely they could have called on their very local 'Parking Maximisation' contractor to come along and resolve this issue?

It wouldn't be that far for our Rachel to be able to pop out of her office and see at first hand how her company deals with such situations on behalf of their valuable, high profile, clients.

I'm sure they wouldn't be smashing windows and pushing the car into a bush - much too professional for that type of illegal activity!

Not really you have a duty to limit your losses, lorry waiting for 4 hours @ £100 per hour against the cost of a window? Unfortunately its people parking like this that encourage companies to fall for the PPC parking management [allegedly] deals.

As quoted above I have had the same problems myself, with cars parked across my yard gates so lorries could not get in or out. and at pubs I have had cars parked over the cellar hatch.

At least they are going to fix the car, many a busy dray man I have met would not have been so keen!

Now that would mean them managing a car park, do they do that?

There is no such duty in criminal law. It is criminal damage plain and simple. There are very few situations where you can justifiably damage someone else's property (to prevent serious harm or injury etc). Saving costs does not satisfy this. Personally I hope the Police deal with this robustly.
