How Lidl treats it's loyal customers

Agree, too that is easier and good customer service. What I don't agree with though is the need to have them on top of the shop. If they were a bit further away then they probably wouldn't get "abused" anywhere near as much. Yes parents might need extra space to get child out of car seat, but they can still walk! (sorry pet rant of mine along with the need to sit children inside the main compartment of trollies with their dirty shoes and sometimes dirty nappies in the very space where, surprisingly, I like to put my food!)

My baby is now a 26 years old and when she was in need of a child seat I had a large Jaguar, Merc and a large BMW. I never had a problem before P&C bays getting her out of the car.

I agree it's easier, but not essential!

Okay,I'll nibble.
cars have grown larger and the parking spaces narrower to provide more spaces in car parks.
I'm not fussed by P&C spaces. I do like a little context on comparing 30 years ago with now though.

I'm wondering if a £90 fine is enough for someone who consistently gets the apostrophe wrong in "its".

Try getting a baby out of the car in a normal space.

I'd be horrified to find a baby in my car at all.

Going to nibble over 6 inches?

Perhaps the problem these days is fatter kids?
due to not walking.

How much space is there between cars in car parks?
2 cars with a 6" difference means 12" less space between cars if a space is the same width as 30 years ago.
Think that doesnt make any difference?

My nearest big shopping place. look at the row of parked cars. How much space Do you gauge between cars?

Indeed, my son owns a garage built in 1965, you cannot park a Focus in it.

To the OP. I am glad you have calmed down today and that we have been of help. If you need further assistance when the NTK arrives come back and post on this thread despite the slight sidetracking into Parent and Child space and a few personal thoughts with are largely op irrelevant to the actual appeal.

If you do blog in the Mail online, I would say continue with the plan to do so as you should get support there given the campaign that the DM were running over the last couple of weeks. Lidl was in the paper only a couple of weeks ago for its uself PPCs. And do carry on complaints to Lidl CEO etc too.

Just do it after you have taken a deep breath, read some of the pertinent information you need to know and do it wisely. We would love to hear what response you get.

In the meanwhile good luck with appeal (not that you should need it.)

It's not compulsory to use P&C spaces.
Park somewhere less busy would be a better option. Then I can park my van closer to the store AND give me the space to get large equipment out without smacking the Chelsea tractor next to me.
