    Whilst I entirely support your sentiments and agree that the 'keyboard warrior' is an !!!, by threatening to block someone in simply for being in a P&C space without a Blue Badge you are reducing your self to their level.

    Fair point, taken on the chin.

    Merry bloomin Christmas! :beer:

    Is there any need for insults?

    There were no insults in the post you quoted.
    Your charges may take 20 minutes, and perhaps you're one of the rare few who actually move on when their charge is complete, but I was referring to the majority, who seem happy to block in the charging points for 30-45 minutes at a time, or, as I have seen many times, not even charge at all, but just use the space because of the fact they feel entitled by driving a plug-in hybrid.

    Simply, if your car is charging, you're entitled to be in the space. After that, if someone arrives with a low charge, who can charge quickly, it's good form to let them take over, especially if you're over, say, 80% (around which charging slows down as a very general rule). The app ChargeBump is great for helping out with this if we could get everyone to use it. Picking on one type of car is unfair.
