She posted a photo of the van. It may have escaped your attention that vans have number plates, and Tesco will be able to identify the driver from that.

We can only hope that Tesco gave the complaint the credit it deserved, and put it straight in the bin.

Don't worry, it sounds like they probably did.

Says the person who dragged an old thread up again...

I know, terrible, and it's what? A week or something since someone last posted on it? Yes, life in prison for me.

You seem to be confused now likelyfran, that is just the advice that people have been giving the OP. Have you started on the sherry a little early?

No, just sparkling water and elderflower cordial tonight. No popcorn.

Was it delivered by Tesco...?

If you need to hurry off to the hospital it may be better for you to park on the road outside your house

Wow what a thread, my goodness, thought my missus was a little unstable when she was pregnant, but this takes the biscuit and to actually write in, and expect what ? £10 million in clubcard vouchers for 5 minutes rent of the driveway, well not the drive, just the entrance, or maybe Tesco should go into administration through shame, or is that a little over the top??brightened my day though.

OP I sympathise, lots of unsympathetic posts on here. When I was having my fourth child I had repeated threatened miscarriages. One day my husband had parked outside local shops to get something, as we waited we got blocked in and I started to bleed. My husband went into the shop I indicated and asked politely if the driver would move the car. No one responded. We had a big four wheel drive car at the time, my husband looked at his watch and said, "Who ever you are you have 30 seconds and then I will be leaving if the car is moved or not." Red faced man exited the shop very quickly. Some things are more important than convenient parking space.

You cannot expect other people to be aware that you are in a high risk situation. When the driver knew there was an issue they moved straight away - what more did you want them to do?

Not block us in. If I can't find a space outside the shop I park further away and walk. Anyway he ignored my husband when he asked, only moved when his precious car was in danger. Better his car than my baby.
